 **Note:** installation on Windows can take a long time (~30 minutes) so caching is recommended, however an [outstanding cache reservation bug in `actions/cache`](https://github.com/actions/cache/issues/144) can cause the cache to [fail to restore while simultaneously rejecting new saves](https://github.com/MODFLOW-USGS/modflow6/actions/runs/3624583228/jobs/6111766806#step:6:152). The [GitHub-endorsed workaround for this issue](https://github.com/actions/cache/issues/144#issuecomment-579323937) is currently to change keys, so this action rotates the cache key once daily. You may want to run a job in the early hours of the morning to warm up the cache on your repository's default branch, so PR/feature branches can restore from it throughout the day.
 
+### `vs20xx`
+
+The `vs2017`, `vs2019`, and `vs2022` inputs toggle whether to integrate with Visual Studio 2017, 2019, and 2022, respectively, corresponding to the `NEED_VS20xx_INTEGRATION` installer options.

 ## Outputs
 
 The action has the following outputs:
