### Reusing primary key and restored key in the save action

#### Reusing primary key and restored key in the save action
|
||||
|
||||
Usually you may want to use same `key` in both actions/cache/restore` and `actions/cache/save` action. To achieve this, use `outputs` from the restore action to reuse the same primary key (or the key of the cache that was restored).

### Using restore action outputs to make save action behave just like the cache action

#### Using restore action outputs to make save action behave just like the cache action
|
||||
|
||||
The outputs `cache-primary-key` and `cache-matched-key` can be used to check if the restored cache is same as the given primary key. Alternatively, the `cache-hit` output can also be used to check if the restored was a complete match or a partially restored cache.

#### Ensuring proper restores and save happen across the actions
|
||||
|

It is very important to use the same `key` and `path` that were used by either `actions/cache` or `actions/cache/save` while saving the cache.
