 ### Actions
 
-An **action** is a custom application for the {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} platform that performs a complex but frequently repeated task. Use an action to help reduce the amount of repetitive code that you write in your **workflow** files. An action can pull your Git repository from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}, set up the correct toolchain for your build environment, or set up the authentication to your cloud provider.
+An **action** is a pre-defined, reusable set of jobs or code that performs specific tasks within a **workflow**, reducing the amount of repetitive code you write in your workflow files. Actions can perform tasks such as:
+
+* Pulling your Git repository from {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}
+* Setting up the correct toolchain for your build environment
+* Setting up authentication to your cloud provider
 
 You can write your own actions, or you can find actions to use in your workflows in the {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}.

-## Overview
-
-You can use pre-written building blocks, called actions, in your workflow. An action is a pre-defined, reusable set of jobs or code that perform specific tasks within a workflow.
-
-Actions can be:
-
-* **Reusable:** actions can be used across different workflows and repositories, allowing you to avoid rewriting the same code.
-* **Pre-written:** many actions are available in the {% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %}, covering a wide range of tasks like checking out code, setting up environments, running tests, and deploying applications.
-* **Configurable:** you can configure actions with inputs, outputs, and environment variables to tailor them to your specific needs.
-* **Community-driven:** you can create your own actions and share them with others or use actions developed by the community.
-
-The actions you use in your workflow can be defined in:
-
-* The same repository as your workflow file{% ifversion ghec or ghes %}
-* An internal repository within the same enterprise account that is configured to allow access to workflows{% endif %}
-* Any public repository
-* A published Docker container image on Docker Hub
-
-{% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} is a central location for you to find actions created by the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} community.{% ifversion fpt or ghec %} [{% data variables.product.prodname_marketplace %} page](https://github.com/marketplace/actions/) enables you to filter for actions by category. {% endif %}
