-Unlike the `startTransition` function returned by [`useTransition`](/reference/react/useTransition), the standalone `startTransition` does not provide the `isPending` flag and is not associated with a component. This means React cannot identify which Error Boundary should handle errors thrown by the `action`, so it reports them as uncaught. You can call the standalone `startTransition` when `useTransition` is not available, such as from a data library outside a component.

-You can't call `useTransition` outside a component because it's a Hook. In this case, use the standalone [`startTransition`](/reference/react/startTransition) function instead. It can mark state updates as Transitions, but it is not associated with a component. This means it cannot provide an `isPending` indicator or send errors to the nearest Error Boundary.
