Why:
Closes: #32543
The existing text is not clear that the workflow level
outputs:
may be mapped to job-level, but not step-level outputs. Attempts to use step-level outputs do not generate an error but pass an empty output. I have added two sentences to clarify that only job-level outputs may be mapped to workflow outputs.What's being changed (if available, include any code snippets, screenshots, or gifs):
Two sentences at the end of the section https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/reusing-workflows#using-outputs-from-a-reusable-workflow. The diff should be very clear.
