+## Tips
+
+Since this action comes with its own set of pros and cons, we are listing some of the ways by which you can tackle the limitations.
+
+### Reusing primary key and restored key in the save action
+
+One of the limitation you might experience is passing the same input in both `actions/cache/restore` and `actions/cache/save` action. To avoid this, you can make use of the `outputs` from the restore action to reuse the same primary key and also the key of the cache that was restored. This way changing any key in the restore action will automatically reflect in the subsequent actions where the same input is being used.

 # Save action
 
+The save action saves cache just like the post step of the `cache` action, except it can be run individually now without having to call the restore step. The save action needs to be called with required inputs, the `key` with which the cache needs to be stored and the `path` that needs to be cached.
+
 ## Inputs
 
+* `key` - 'An explicit key for saving the cache'
+* `path` - 'A list of files, directories, and wildcard patterns to cache'
+* `upload-chunk-size` - 'The chunk size used to split up large files during upload, in bytes'
+
 ## Outputs

+
+## Use cases
+
+As this is a newly introduced action to give users more control in their workflows, below are some use cases where one can use this action.
+
+### Only save cache
+
+In case you are using separate jobs for generating common artifacts and sharing them across different jobs, this action will help you with your save only needs.
+
+```
+steps:
+  - uses: actions/checkout@v3
+
+  - name: Install Dependencies
+    if: steps.cache.outputs.cache-hit != 'true'
+    run: /install.sh
+
+  - name: Build common artifacts
+    run: /build.sh
+
+  - uses: actions/cache/save@v3
+    id: cache
+    with:
+      path: path/to/dependencies
+      key: ${{ runner.os }}-${{ hashFiles('**/lockfiles') }}
+```
+
+### Re-evaluate cache key while saving
+
+Some technologies like dot-net generate the lockfiles during the build time, due to which the already evaluated `${{ hashFiles('**/lockfiles') }}` hash doesn't match the actual hash. Using save action with the same key will not re-evaluate the key as hash would be calculated after the build step hence allowing the hash to be latest. 
+
+We will also be making the restore inputted `key` available as output of `restore` action to be reused in the input of the `save` action. This way the user has to control to reuse the same key or get it re-evaluated based on their choice.
+
+Let's say we have a restore step that computes key at runtime.
+
+```
+uses: actions/cache/restore@v3
+id: restore-cache
+with:
+    key: cache-${{ hashFiles('**/lockfiles') }}
+```
+
+Case 1: Where an user would want to reuse the key as it is
+```
+uses: actions/cache/save@v3
+with:
+    key: steps.restore-cache.output.key
+```
+
+Case 2: Where the user would want to re-evaluate the key
+```
+uses: actions/cache/save@v3
+with:
+    key: npm-cache-${{hashfiles(package-lock.json)}}
+```
+
+### Always save cache
+
+There are instances where some flaky test cases would fail the entire workflow and users would get frustrated because the builds would run for hours and the cache couldn't get saved as the workflow failed in between. For such use-cases, users would now have the ability to use `actions/cache/save` action to save the cache by using `if: always()` condition. This way the cache will always be saved if generated, or a warning will be thrown that nothing is found on the cache path. Users can also use the `if` condition to only execute the `actions/cache/save` action depending on the output of the previous steps. This way they get more control on when to save the cache.
