 ===Items===
-Items are a subset of myCNC actions, and are usually written as item:item-name (such as //item:motion-rapid-speed-xy//). Items are different from actions in that items effectively describe a value that can be changed by some input. In this way, there can exist both an action with some name, and an item with that same name, which are separate from one another.
+Items are a subset of actions, and are written in the following form - item:item-name (such as //item:motion-rapid-speed-xy//). Items are different from actions in that items effectively describe a value that can be changed by some input (similar to Global Variables which store a value). In this way, there can exist both an action with some name, and an item with that same name, which are separate from one another (one will describe an action that will be taken, and the other will describe a value that will be changed by that action).
 Items are often presented to the user on the myCNC software screen to display relevant information which can then be edited (such as the jog overspeed, spindle speed, etc). The relevant actions for such items would be along the lines of motion-overspeed-inc or motion-overspeed-dec, describing a particular action to perform with this item (value).

 Items are typically used in conjunction with some input, as outlined in the Connections configuration dialog which can be found [[mycnc:mycnc_configuration_dialogs|here]].
 A list of commonly used items can be found in the [[mycnc:item_list|Item List]].
