Workflow Summary
Actions Insights writes a TeamCity-style markdown table to the GitHub Actions job summary. This appears on the workflow run page and is ideal for desktop review.
When to Enable
Enable the workflow summary for every workflow where you want a quick overview on the run page — especially on main branch builds where PR comments are not available.
Configuration
The workflow summary is enabled by default (generate-job-summary: true).
