+# Overlay 1.2 Released
+
+## New features
+
+- Reusable actions with a new `components.actions` section and reusable action references in the `actions` array, allowing shared action fields to be defined once and applied to different targets.
+- Self-identification with a new `$self` field, clearer `extends` and base URI resolution rules, and a restriction that document-identifying fields such as `$self` and `extends` cannot contain fragments.
+
+More information on the [upgrade documentation](https://learn.openapis.org/upgrading/overlay-v1.1-to-v1.2.html).
