 ## Handling Expected Errors
 
 Expected errors are those that can occur during the normal operation of the application, such as those from [server-side form validation](/docs/app/building-your-application/data-fetching/server-actions-and-mutations#server-side-form-validation) or failed requests. These errors should be handled explicitly and returned to the client.
 
 ### Handling Expected Errors from Server Actions
 
-Use the `useActionState` hook (previously `useFormState`) to manage the state of Server Actions, including handling errors. This approach avoids `try`/`catch` blocks for expected errors, which should be modeled as return values rather than thrown exceptions.
