+
+## Merging multiple artifacts
+
+In `v3`, multiple uploads from multiple jobs could be done to the same Artifact. This would result in a single archive, which could be useful for sending to upstream systems outside of Actions via API or UI downloads.
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  upload:
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        runs-on: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]
+    runs-on: ${{ matrix.runs-on }}
+    steps:
+      - name: Create a File
+        run: echo "hello from ${{ matrix.runs-on }}" > file-${{ matrix.runs-on }}.txt
+      - name: Upload Artifact
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
+        with:
+          name: all-my-files # NOTE: same artifact name
+          path: file-${{ matrix.runs-on }}.txt
+```
+
+The single `all-my-files` artifact would contain the following:
+
+```
+.
+  ∟ file-ubuntu-latest.txt
+  ∟ file-macos-latest.txt
+  ∟ file-windows-latest.txt
+```
+
+To achieve the same in `v4` you can change it like so:
+
+```diff
+jobs:
+  upload:
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        runs-on: [ubuntu-latest, macos-latest, windows-latest]

+## Usage
+
+> [!IMPORTANT]
+> upload-artifact/merge@v4+ is not currently supported on GHES.
+
+Note: this actions can only merge artifacts created with actions/upload-artifact@v4+
+
+This sub-action is a helper to merge multiple artifacts after they are created. To do so, it will download multiple artifacts to a temporary directory and reupload them as a single artifact.
+
+For most cases, this may not be the most efficient solution. See [the migration docs](../docs/MIGRATION.md#multiple-uploads-to-the-same-named-artifact) on how to download multiple artifacts to the same directory on a runner. This action should only be necessary for cases where multiple artifacts will need to be downloaded outside the runner environment, like downloads via the UI or REST API.
+
+### Inputs
+
+```yaml
+- uses: actions/upload-artifact/merge@v4
+  with:
+    # The name of the artifact that the artifacts will be merged into
+    # Optional. Default is 'merged-artifacts'
+    name:
+
+    # A glob pattern matching the artifacts that should be merged.
+    # Optional. Default is '*'
+    pattern:
+
+    # If true, the artifacts will be merged into separate directories.
+    # If false, the artifacts will be merged into the root of the destination.
+    # Optional. Default is 'false'
+    separate-directories:
+
+    # If true, the artifacts that were merged will be deleted.
+    # If false, the artifacts will still exist.
+    # Optional. Default is 'false'
+    delete-merged:
+
+    # Duration after which artifact will expire in days. 0 means using default retention.
+    # Minimum 1 day.
+    # Maximum 90 days unless changed from the repository settings page.
+    # Optional. Defaults to repository settings.
+    retention-days:
+
+    # The level of compression for Zlib to be applied to the artifact archive.
+    # The value can range from 0 to 9.
+    # For large files that are not easily compressed, a value of 0 is recommended for significantly faster uploads.
+    # Optional. Default is '6'
+    compression-level:
+```
+
+### Outputs
+
+| Name | Description | Example |
+| - | - | - |
+| `artifact-id` | GitHub ID of an Artifact, can be used by the REST API | `1234` |
+| `artifact-url` | URL to download an Artifact. Can be used in many scenarios such as linking to artifacts in issues or pull requests. Users must be logged-in in order for this URL to work. This URL is valid as long as the artifact has not expired or the artifact, run or repository have not been deleted | `https://github.com/example-org/example-repo/actions/runs/1/artifacts/1234` |
+
+## Examples
+
+For each of these examples, assume we have a prior job matrix that generates three artifacts: `my-artifact-a`, `my-artifact-b` and `my-artifact-c`.
+
+e.g.
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  upload:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+
+    strategy:
+      matrix:
+        foo: [a, b, c]
+
+    steps:
+      - name: Run a one-line script
+        run: echo "hello from job ${{ matrix.foo }}" > file-${{ matrix.foo }}.txt
+      - name: Upload
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
+        with:
+          name: my-artifact-${{ matrix.foo }}
+          path: file-${{ matrix.foo }}.txt
+```
+
+Each of the following examples will use the `needs: upload` as a prerequesite before any merging operations.
+
+### Combining all artifacts in a workflow run
+
+By default (with no inputs), calling this action will take all the artifacts in the workflow run and combined them into a single artifact called `merged-artifacts`:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  # ... <upload job> ...
+  merge:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    needs: upload
+    steps:
+      - name: Merge Artifacts
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact/merge@v4
+```
+
+This will result in an artifact called `merged-artifacts` with the following content:
+
+```
+.
+  ∟ file-a.txt
+  ∟ file-b.txt
+  ∟ file-c.txt
+```
+
+To change the name of the artifact and filter on what artifacts are added, you can use the `name` and `pattern` inputs:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  # ... <upload job> ...
+  merge:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    needs: upload
+    steps:
+      - name: Merge Artifacts
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact/merge@v4
+        with:
+          name: my-amazing-merged-artifact
+          pattern: my-artifact-*
+```
+
+### Prefix directories in merged artifact
+
+To prevent overwriting files in artifacts that may have the same name, you can use the `separate-directories` to prefix the extracted files with directories (named after the original artifact):
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  # ... <upload job> ...
+  merge:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    needs: upload
+    steps:
+      - name: Merge Artifacts
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact/merge@v4
+        with:
+          separate-directories: true
+```
+
+This will result in the following artifact structure:
+
+```
+.
+  ∟ my-artifact-a
+    ∟ file-a.txt
+  ∟ my-artifact-b
+    ∟ file-b.txt
+  ∟ my-artifact-c
+    ∟ file-c.txt
+```
+
+### Deleting artifacts after merge
+
+After merge, the old artifacts may no longer be required. To automatically delete them after they are merged into a new artifact, you can use `delete-merged` like so:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  # ... <upload job> ...
+  merge:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    needs: upload
+    steps:
+      - name: Merge Artifacts
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact/merge@v4
+        with:
+          delete-merged: true
+```
+
+After this runs, the matching artifact (`my-artifact-a`, `my-artifact-b` and `my-artifact-c`) will be merged.
+
+### Retention and Compression Level
+
+Similar to actions/upload-artifact, both [`retention-days`](../README.md#retention-period) and [`compression-level`](../README.md#altering-compressions-level-speed-v-size) are supported:
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  # ... <upload job> ...
+  merge:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    needs: upload
+    steps:
+      - name: Merge Artifacts
+        uses: actions/upload-artifact/merge@v4
+        with:
+          retention-days: 1
+          compression-level: 9
+```

+      The level of compression for Zlib to be applied to the artifact archive.
+      The value can range from 0 to 9:
+      - 0: No compression
+      - 1: Best speed
+      - 6: Default compression (same as GNU Gzip)
+      - 9: Best compression
+      Higher levels will result in better compression, but will take longer to complete.
+      For large files that are not easily compressed, a value of 0 is recommended for significantly faster uploads.
+    default: '6'
+  delete-merged:
+    description: >
+      If true, the artifacts that were merged will be deleted.
+      If false, the artifacts will still exist.
+    default: 'false'
+
+outputs:
+  artifact-id:
+    description: >
+      A unique identifier for the artifact that was just uploaded. Empty if the artifact upload failed.
+
+      This ID can be used as input to other APIs to download, delete or get more information about an artifact: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/artifacts
+  artifact-url:
+    description: >
+      A download URL for the artifact that was just uploaded. Empty if the artifact upload failed.
+
+      This download URL only works for requests Authenticated with GitHub. Anonymous downloads will be prompted to first login. 
+      If an anonymous download URL is needed than a short time restricted URL can be generated using the download artifact API: https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/artifacts#download-an-artifact    
+
+      This URL will be valid for as long as the artifact exists and the workflow run and repository exists. Once an artifact has expired this URL will no longer work.
+      Common uses cases for such a download URL can be adding download links to artifacts in descriptions or comments on pull requests or issues.
