+<h2>{% trans %}What are actions?{% endtrans %}</h2>
+<p>{% trans %}Actions are module-defined tasks that can be executed on the site; for example, unpublishing content, sending an email message, or blocking a user.{% endtrans %}</p>
+<h2>{% trans %}What are simple actions?{% endtrans %}</h2>
+<p>{% trans %}Simple actions do not require configuration. They are automatically available to be executed, and are always listed as available on the {{ actions_page }}.{% endtrans %}</p>
+<h2>{% trans %}What are advanced actions?{% endtrans %}</h2>
+<p>{% trans %}Advanced actions require configuration. Before they are available for listing and execution, they need to be created and configured. For example, for an action that sends email, you would need to configure the email address.{% endtrans %}</p>
+<h2>{% trans %}How are actions executed?{% endtrans %}</h2>
+<p>{% trans %}In the core software, actions can be executed through a <em>bulk operations form</em> added to a view; if you have the core Views module installed, see the related topic "Managing content listings (views)" for more information about views and bulk operations.{% endtrans %}</p>
+<h2>{% trans %}Configuring actions overview{% endtrans %}</h2>
+<p>{% trans %}The Actions UI module provides a user interface for listing and configuring actions. The core Views UI module provides a user interface for creating views, which may include bulk operations forms for executing actions. See the related topics listed below for specific tasks.{% endtrans %}</p>
