Difference between actions and changelist_actions?

I can't figure out what the difference is between adding an action via Django's built-in actions attribute vs the changelist_actions attribute added by django-object-actions. They seem to serve the same purpose with the same result.

you know... I was wondering about change_actions versus changelist_actions myself last month. actions is Django's and controls the built in dropdown in the changelist page, while change_actions and changelist_actions control what buttons appear in the top right on the detail vs changelist pages. The docs could be better... screenshots would be nice

Ah, ok - so change and changelist_actions both add "actions" to the Changelist page but in different forms and in different locations. In other words, for the Changelist page, DOA is merely offering an alternative UI for the same type of functionality.
