 ## Caching global packages data
 
-The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring dependencies. It uses [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache) under the hood for caching global packages data but requires less configuration settings. Supported package managers are `npm`, `yarn`, `pnpm` (v6.10+). The `cache` input is optional, and caching is turned off by default.
+The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring dependencies. It uses [actions/cache](https://github.com/actions/cache) under the hood for caching global packages data but requires less configuration settings. Supported package managers are `npm`, `yarn`, `pnpm` (v6.10+). The `cache` input is optional.
+
+Caching is turned on by default when a `packageManager` field is detected in the `package.json` file. The `package-manager-cache` input provides control over this automatic caching behavior. By default, `package-manager-cache` is set to `true`, which enables caching when a valid package manager field is detected in the `package.json` file. To disable this automatic caching, set the `package-manager-cache` input to `false`.
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v4
+- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
+  with:
+    package-manager-cache: false
+- run: npm ci
+```
+> If no valid `packageManager` field is detected in the `package.json` file, caching will remain disabled unless explicitly configured.
 
 The action defaults to search for the dependency file (`package-lock.json`, `npm-shrinkwrap.json` or `yarn.lock`) in the repository root, and uses its hash as a part of the cache key. Use `cache-dependency-path` for cases when multiple dependency files are used, or they are located in different subdirectories.
