Call `useActionState` at the top level of your component to create component state that is updated [when a form action is invoked](/reference/react-dom/components/form). You pass `useActionState` an existing form action function as well as an initial state, and it returns a new action that you use in your form, along with the latest form state. The latest form state is also passed to the function that you provided.

`useActionState` returns an array with the following values:

2. A new action that you can pass as the `action` prop to your `form` component or `formAction` prop to any `button` component within the form.
3. The `isPending` flag that tells you whether there is a pending Transition.

`useActionState` returns an array with the following items:
1. The <CodeStep step={1}>current state</CodeStep> of the form, which is initially set to the <CodeStep step={4}>initial state</CodeStep> you provided, and after the form is submitted is set to the return value of the <CodeStep step={3}>action</CodeStep> you provided.
2. A <CodeStep step={2}>new action</CodeStep> that you pass to `<form>` as its `action` prop.
3. A <CodeStep step={1}>pending state</CodeStep> that you can utilise whilst your action is processing.
When the form is submitted, the <CodeStep step={3}>action</CodeStep> function that you provided will be called. Its return value will become the new <CodeStep step={1}>current state</CodeStep> of the form.
