+### Caching even if an intermediate job fails
+
+Just like [the basic actions/cache workflow](https://github.com/actions/cache), this action has a cache restore step, and also a save step which runs after the workflow completes.
+By default, if any job in the workflow fails, the entire workflow will be stopped, and the cache will not be saved.
+
+Due to current limitations in GitHub Actions syntax, there is no built-in option for this action to save the cache even if the job fails.
+However, it does output information which you can feed into `actions/cache` yourself to achieve the same effect.
+For example, this workflow will ensure that the cache is saved if a step fails (but skipping it if the cache was hit, i.e. there's no need to cache it again).

 ### Cache Garbage Collection
 
 Caches are restored and re-saved after every run, retaining the state of the depot throughout runs.
