Summary of changes:
"Server Action", like "Effect", is a React-specific notion
that would be benefited from captailization to be distinguished
from its genertic meaning.
It seems like [Next doc](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/functions/server-actions)
has also adopted such connventions and we should probably do the same.

This is beneficial to users who have a slow connection, device, or have JavaScript disabled and is similar to the way forms work when a URL is passed to the `action` prop.

If these libraries have been updated to be compatible with React Server Components, then they will already include `'use client'` markers of their own, allowing you to use them directly from your Server Components. If a library hasn't been updated, or if a component needs props like event handlers that can only be specified on the client, you may need to add your own Client Component file in between the third-party Client Component and your Server Component where you'd like to use it.

*`'use server'` must be at the very beginning of their function or module; above any other code including imports (comments above directives are OK). They must be written with single or double quotes, not backticks.
43
-
*`'use server'` can only be used in server-side files. The resulting server actions can be passed to Client Components through props. See supported [types for serialization](#serializable-parameters-and-return-values).

* Always treat arguments to server actions as untrusted input and authorize any mutations. See [security considerations](#security).

* Server actions should be called in a [transition](/reference/react/useTransition). Server actions passed to [`<form action>`](/reference/react-dom/components/form#props) or [`formAction`](/reference/react-dom/components/input#props) will automatically be called in a transition.
48
-
* Server actions are designed for mutations that update server-side state; they are not recommended for data fetching. Accordingly, frameworks implementing server actions typically process one action at a time and do not have a way to cache the return value.

The most common use case of server actions will be calling server functions that mutate data. On the browser, the [HTML form element](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTML/Element/form) is the traditional approach for a user to submit a mutation. With React Server Components, React introduces first-class support for server actions in [forms](/reference/react-dom/components/form).
