-## What is an Actor?
+## Actors overview
 
-Actors are serverless programs running in the cloud. They can perform anything from simple actions (such as filling out a web form or sending an email) to complex operations (such as crawling an entire website or removing duplicates from a large dataset). Actor runs can be as short or as long as necessary. They could last seconds, hours, or even infinitely.
+Actors are serverless cloud programs that can perform anything from a simple action, like filling out a web form, to a complex operation, like crawling an entire website or removing duplicates from a large dataset. Because Actors can persist their state and be restarted, their runs can be as short or as long as necessary, from seconds to hours, or even indefinitely.

+Basically, Actors are programs packaged as Docker images, which accept a well-defined JSON input, perform an action, and optionally produce a well-defined JSON output.
 
-You can use Actors [manually in Apify Console](https://console.apify.com/actors), by using the [API](/api/v2) or [scheduler](../schedules.md). You can easily [integrate them with other apps](../integrations/index.mdx) and share your Actors with other Apify users via [Apify Store](https://apify.com/store) or [access rights](./collaboration/access-rights) system.

-## Actors are containers
+For more context, read [Actor whitepaper](https://whitepaper.actor/).
 
-A single isolated Actor consists of source code and various settings. You can think of an Actor as a cloud app or service that runs on the Apify platform. The run of an Actor is not limited to the lifetime of a single HTTP transaction. It can run for as long as necessary, even forever.
+:::
+
+## Actor components
+
+Actors consist of these elements:
+
+- _Dockerfile_ which specifies where the Actor's source code is, how to build it, and run it.
+- _Documentation_ in a form of a README.md file.
+- _Input and output schemas_ that describe what input the Actor requires, and what results it produces.
+- Access to an out-of-the-box _storage system_ for Actor data, results, and files.
+- _Metadata_ such as the Actor name, description, author, and version.
+
+The documentation and input/output schemas help people understand what the Actor does, enter required inputs in the user interface or API, and integrate results into other workflows. Actors can call and interact with each other to build more complex systems from simple ones.

+## Running Actors
+
+You can run Actors manually in [Apify Console](https://console.apify.com/actors), using the [API](/api), [CLI](/cli), or [scheduler](../schedules.md). You can easily [integrate Actors](../integrations/index.mdx) with other apps, [share](../collaboration/access_rights.md) them with other people, [publish](./publishing/index.mdx) them in [Apify Store](https://apify.com/store), and even [monetize](./publishing/monetize.mdx).

 Typically, datasets comprise results from web scraping, crawling, and data processing jobs. You can visualize this data in a table, where each object is forming a row and its attributes are represented as columns. You have the option to export data in various formats, including JSON, CSV, XML, Excel, HTML Table, RSS or JSONL.
