+Actions
+=======
+
+.. py:currentmodule:: marionette
+
+Action Sequences
+----------------
+
+:class:`Actions` are designed as a way to simulate user input as closely as possible
+on a touch device like a smart phone. A common operation is to tap the screen
+and drag your finger to another part of the screen and lift it off.
+
+This can be simulated using an Action::
+
+ from marionette import Actions
+
+ start_element = marionette.find_element('id', 'start')
+ end_element = marionette.find_element('id', 'end')
+
+ action = Actions(marionette)
+ action.press(start_element).wait(1).move(end_element).release()
+ action.perform()
+
+This will simulate pressing an element, waiting for one second, moving the
+finger over to another element and then lifting the finger off the screen. The
+wait is optional in this case, but can be useful for simulating delays typical
+to a users behaviour.
+
+Multi-Action Sequences
+----------------------
+
+Sometimes it may be necessary to simulate multiple actions at the same time.
+For example a user may be dragging one finger while tapping another. This is
+where :class:`MultiActions` come in. MultiActions are simply a way of combining
+two or more actions together and performing them all at the same time::
+
+ action1 = Actions(marionette)
+ action1.press(start_element).move(end_element).release()
+
+ action2 = Actions(marionette)
+ action2.press(another_element).wait(1).release()
+
+ multi = MultiActions(marionette)
+ multi.add(action1)
+ multi.add(action2)
+ multi.perform()
