[rhettg]

What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/managing-workflow-runs/manually-running-a-workflow

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

The language around selecting a branch when manually running a workflow is inconsistent.

The UI says:

The CLI docs say:

The CLI help strings are also different:

It seems like these should indicate the same behavior, but the subtle differences in language seems like they could be interpreted different:

• "where"
• "from"
• "on"
• "at"

Thanks, @rhettg. Yeah, this might be slightly confusing.

Select the branch where the workflow will run and type the input parameters used by the workflow. Click Run workflow.

We could reword it like this to be more clear:

Use the **Branch** dropdown to select the workflow's branch, and type the input parameters. Click **Run workflow**.
