Big changes coming... ## v4 - What's new
Refer [here](https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact/tree/releases/v3) for the previous version > [!IMPORTANT]
> upload-artifact@v4+ is not currently supported on GHES yet. If you are on GHES, you must use [v3](https://github.com/actions/upload-artifact/releases/tag/v3).
# Usage The release of upload-artifact@v4 and download-artifact@v4 are major changes to the backend architecture of Artifacts. They have numerous performance and behavioral improvements.
See [action.yml](action.yml) For more information, see the [`@actions/artifact`](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/artifact) documentation.
### Improvements
1. Uploads are significantly faster, upwards of 90% improvement in worst case scenarios.
2. Once uploaded, an Artifact ID is returned and Artifacts are immediately available in the UI and [REST API](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/actions/artifacts). Previously, you would have to wait for the run to be completed before an ID was available or any APIs could be utilized.
3. The contents of an Artifact are uploaded together into an _immutable_ archive. They cannot be altered by subsequent jobs. Both of these factors help reduce the possibility of accidentally corrupting Artifact files.
4. The compression level of an Artifact can be manually tweaked for speed or size reduction.
### Breaking Changes
1. On self hosted runners, additional [firewall rules](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/artifact#breaking-changes) may be required.
2. Uploading to the same named Artifact multiple times.
Due to how Artifacts are created in this new version, it is no longer possible to upload to the same named Artifact multiple times. You must either split the uploads into multiple Artifacts with different names, or only upload once. Otherwise you _will_ encounter an error.
3. Limit of Artifacts for an individual job. Each job in a workflow run now has a limit of 10 artifacts.
## Usage
### Inputs
```yaml
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with:
# Name of the artifact to upload.
# Optional. Default is 'artifact'
name:
# A file, directory or wildcard pattern that describes what to upload
# Required.
path:
# The desired behavior if no files are found using the provided path.
# Available Options:
# warn: Output a warning but do not fail the action
# error: Fail the action with an error message
# ignore: Do not output any warnings or errors, the action does not fail
# Optional. Default is 'warn'
if-no-files-found:
# 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'

Relative paths are rooted against the current working directory. Paths that begin with a wildcard character should be quoted to avoid being interpreted as YAML aliases.
The [@actions/artifact](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/artifact) package is used internally to handle most of the logic around uploading an artifact. There is extra documentation around upload limitations and behavior in the toolkit repo that is worth checking out. ### Altering compressions level (speed v. size)
If you are uploading large or easily compressable data to your artifact, you may benefit from tweaking the compression level. By default, the compression level is `6`, the same as GNU Gzip.
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.
For instance, if you are uploading random binary data, you can save a lot of time by opting out of compression completely, since it won't benefit:
```yaml
- name: Make a 1GB random binary file
run: |
dd if=/dev/urandom of=my-1gb-file bs=1M count=1000
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with:
name: my-artifact
path: my-1gb-file
compression-level: 0 # no compression
```
But, if you are uploading data that is easily compressed (like plaintext, code, etc) you can save space and cost by having a higher compression level. But this will be heavier on the CPU therefore slower to upload:
```yaml
- name: Make a file with a lot of repeated text
run: |
for i in {1..100000}; do echo -n 'foobar' >> foobar.txt; done
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with:
name: my-artifact
path: foobar.txt
compression-level: 9 # maximum compression
```
### Customization if no files are found ### Customization if no files are found
If a path (or paths), result in no files being found for the artifact, the action will succeed but print out a warning. In certain scenarios it may be desirable to fail the action or suppress the warning. The `if-no-files-found` option allows you to customize the behavior of the action if no files are found: If a path (or paths), result in no files being found for the artifact, the action will succeed but print out a warning. In certain scenarios it may be desirable to fail the action or suppress the warning. The `if-no-files-found` option allows you to customize the behavior of the action if no files are found:
```yaml ```yaml
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4-beta - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with: with:
name: my-artifact name: my-artifact
path: path/to/artifact/ path: path/to/artifact/
if-no-files-found: error # 'warn' or 'ignore' are also available, defaults to `warn` if-no-files-found: error # 'warn' or 'ignore' are also available, defaults to `warn`
``` ```
### Conditional Artifact Upload ### (Not) Uploading to the same artifact
To upload artifacts only when the previous step of a job failed, use [`if: failure()`](https://help.github.com/en/articles/contexts-and-expression-syntax-for-github-actions#job-status-check-functions): Unlike earlier versions of `upload-artifact`, uploading to the same artifact via multiple jobs is _not_ supported with `v4`.
```yaml
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4-beta
if: failure()
with:
name: my-artifact
path: path/to/artifact/
```
### Uploading without an artifact name
You can upload an artifact without specifying a name
```yaml
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4-beta
with:
path: path/to/artifact/world.txt
```
If not provided, `artifact` will be used as the default name which will manifest itself in the UI after upload.
### Uploading to the same artifact
Unlike earlier versions of `upload-artifact`, uploading to the same artifact via multiple jobs is _not_ supported with `v4`.
```yaml ```yaml
- run: echo hi > world.txt - run: echo hi > world.txt
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4-beta - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with: with:
# implicitly named as 'artifact'
path: world.txt path: world.txt
- run: echo howdy > extra-file.txt - run: echo howdy > extra-file.txt
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4-beta - uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with: with:
# also implicitly named as 'artifact', will fail here!
path: extra-file.txt path: extra-file.txt
``` ```
Artifact names must be unique since each created artifact is idempotent so multiple jobs cannot modify the same artifact. Artifact names must be unique since each created artifact is idempotent so multiple jobs cannot modify the same artifact.
In matrix scenarios, be careful to not accidentally upload to the same artifact, or else you will encounter conflict errors. It would be best to name the artifact _with_ a prefix or suffix from the matrix:
```yaml
jobs:
upload:
name: Generate Build Artifacts
strategy:
matrix:
os: [ubuntu-latest, windows-latest]
version: [a, b, c]
runs-on: ${{ matrix.os }}
steps:
- name: Build
run: ./some-script --version=${{ matrix.version }} > my-binary
- name: Upload
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with:
name: binary-${{ matrix.os }}-${{ matrix.version }}
path: my-binary
```
This will result in artifacts like: `binary-ubuntu-latest-a`, `binary-windows-latest-b`, and so on.
Previously the behavior _allowed_ for the artifact names to be the same which resulted in unexpected mutations and accidental corruption. Artifacts created by upload-artifact@v4 are immutable.

## Limitations
### Number of Artifacts
Within an individual job, there is a limit of 10 artifacts that can be created for that job.
You may also be limited by Artifacts if you have exceeded your shared storage quota. Storage is calculated every 6-12 hours. See [the documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/billing/managing-billing-for-github-actions/about-billing-for-github-actions#calculating-minute-and-storage-spending) for more info.
### Zip archives
When an Artifact is uploaded, all the files are assembled into an immutable Zip archive. There is currently no way to download artifacts in a format other than a Zip or to download individual artifact contents.
### Permission Loss
File permissions are not maintained during artifact upload. All directories will have `755` and all files will have `644`. For example, if you make a file executable using `chmod` and then upload that file, post-download the file is no longer guaranteed to be set as an executable.
If you must preserve permissions, you can `tar` all of your files together before artifact upload. Post download, the `tar` file will maintain file permissions and case sensitivity.
```yaml
- name: 'Tar files'
run: tar -cvf my_files.tar /path/to/my/directory
- name: 'Upload Artifact'
uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
with:
name: my-artifact
path: my_files.tar
