Docs: forms-and-mutations#convention does not explain the Server Actions feature flag

[amunrarara]

What is the improvement or update you wish to see?

While setting up Server Actions, I'm receiving the following error:

Error: 
  × To use Server Actions, please enable the feature flag in your Next.js config. Read more: https://nextjs.org/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/forms-and-mutations#convention

The docs do not have any reference to this feature flag.

Is there any context that might help us understand?

Where do I enable this flag?

Does the docs page already exist? Please link to it.

Hey @amunrarara 👋🏼

Thank you for raising this, we're working on updating the Server Actions docs here: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/pull/59080. Let's us know if you have any further feedback 🙏🏼

In Next.js 14, the flag is not needed. But if you're using an earlier version, you can upgrade or add the flag to your next.config.js file:

/** @type {import('next').NextConfig} */
const config = {
  experimental: {
    serverActions: true,
  },
};

module.exports = config;
