#### Saving cache once and reusing in multiple workflows
In case of multi-module projects, where the built artifact of one project needs to be reused in subsequent child modules, the need of rebuilding the parent module again and again with every build can be eliminated. The `actions/cache` or `actions/cache/save` action can be used to build and save the parent module artifact once, and restored multiple times while building the child modules.
##### Step 1 - Build the parent module and save it
```yaml
name: Saving Primes
on: push
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Generate primes
run: ./generate-primes.sh
- name: Save Primes
id: cache-primes-save
- uses: actions/cache/save@v3
with:
path: |
path/to/dependencies
some/other/dependencies
key: ${{ runner.os }}-primes
```
##### Step 2 - Restore the built artifact from cache using the same key and path
```yaml
name: Restoring Primes
on: push
jobs:
build:
runs-on: ubuntu-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout@v3
- name: Restoring Primes
id: cache-primes-restore
- uses: actions/cache/restore@v3
with:
path: |
path/to/dependencies
some/other/dependencies
key: ${{ runner.os }}-primes
.
.
. //remaining workflow steps continued
```
> **Note**
> You must use the `cache` or `restore` action in your workflow before you need to use the files that might be restored from the cache. If the provided `key` matches an existing cache, a new cache is not created and if the provided `key` doesn't match an existing cache, a new cache is automatically created provided the job completes successfully.
