What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/creating-actions/publishing-actions-in-github-marketplace

https://docs.github.com/en/site-policy/github-terms/github-marketplace-developer-agreement

What part(s) of the article would you like to see updated?

I am trying to publish a GitHub action and I can't because it says:

... must accept the GitHub Marketplace Developer Agreement. Contact an org admin to accept it.

There is no link to the agreement nor does the agreement in the docs say how to sign it. This is now the second time I have to go through this given in my last company the org admin was also confused and didn't know what to do.

Can you please clearly state what an org admin needs to do to sign this agreement?

Additional information

Explanation

When an organization owner opens a metadata file for an action and clicks Draft a release, the "Release Action" page contains a link to the GitHub Marketplace Developer Agreement. If you go to that page and no link is displayed, I suggest that you send a link to that page to the organization owner. They should be able to accept the agreement. Then, when you reload the page, you should find that publishing the action is no longer blocked.

Screenshot of the 'Release Action' page, showing the link to the agreement.

When the organization owner clicks on the link, a modal dialog box with the agreement is displayed. They can accept the agreement using that dialog box.
