What article on docs.github.com is affected?

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/migrating-to-github-actions/automated-migrations/migrating-from-circleci-with-github-actions-importer#configuring-credentials

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

After creating the token, copy it and save it in a safe location for later use.

https://docs.github.com/en/actions/migrating-to-github-actions/automated-migrations/migrating-from-circleci-with-github-actions-importer#using-environment-variables

GitHub Actions Importer uses the following environment variables to connect to your CircleCI instance:

GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN: The personal access token (classic) used to create pull requests with a converted workflow (requires repo and workflow scopes).

Additional information
