Hi there! Should I use 'use server' together with import 'server-only' for a .ts file with server actions or 'use server' is enough? What's the difference between them? Thanks in advance!

They achieve very different things. You can read
Use
use server as “use (from) server” or “use server (action)”. It makes server code available to a client so you can make remote calls. server-only essentially does the exact opposite: you’ll be completely unable to call the code from the client!Use
use server for Server Actions because you need the code to be accessible to the web browser. Use server-only in a file that absolutely cannot ever be allowed to make it into the web browser.2 Replies
