 ## Quickstart
 
-Action Sample Project demonstrates registering actions process in various configurations.
-Each action is an extension of the [`AnAction`][sdk:AnAction] abstract class and brings the possibility of extending IDE with an event performed with the user interaction - i.e., clicking the button, using the keyboard or mouse shortcuts.

-Plugin registers the [`PopupDialogAction`][file:PopupDialogAction] action, which provides a popup dialog as a feedback, in three different ways:
+The Action Basics Sample Project demonstrates the process of registering actions in various configurations.
+Each action is an extension of the [`AnAction`][sdk:AnAction] abstract class and brings the possibility of extending the IDE with an event performed with the user interaction - i.e., clicking the button, using the keyboard or mouse shortcuts.
 
+This Plugin registers the [`PopupDialogAction`][file:PopupDialogAction] action, which provides a popup dialog as a feedback, in three different ways:
 - by assigning the keyboard (<kbd>Ctrl/Cmd</kbd>+<kbd>Alt</kbd>+<kbd>A</kbd>, <kbd>C</kbd>) and mouse shortcuts (<kbd>Ctrl/Cmd</kbd> + <kbd>Mouse Button 3</kbd> + <kbd>Double Click</kbd>),
-- by adding action item to the `ToolsMenu` group, available in Tools menu,
-- by adding action item to the `EditorPopupMenu` group, available in Editor's context menu.
+- by adding an action to the `ToolsMenu` directly, and as part of new groups added to the Tools menu,
+- by adding an action to a new group in the `EditorPopupMenu`, which is the Editor's context menu.
+
+Additional features of the plugin:
+- [Using the `<override-text>`][docs:action-override] element in an `<action>` element is demonstrated in the `plugin.xml` declaration to add the `PopupDialogAction` action directly to the `ToolsMenu`.
+- [Localization of action and group][docs:action-locale] `text` and `description` attributes using a `<resource-bundle>` is demonstrated in the declaration to add a new group to the `EditorPopupMenu`.
