Overrides vs. Actions, Part 2 - Understanding Actions: The “Lazy-Loading” Approach
In Part 1 we looked at Overrides, the eager model that runs checks on every node at page load. They’re great for simple, static rules and bulk actions, but heavy logic can hurt performance. Actions take the opposite, lazy-loading approach, running only when a user opens a node’s context menu. Let's explore how Actions work, when to use them, and their trade-offs.
