Job outputs containing expressions are evaluated on the runner at the end of each job. Outputs containing secrets are redacted on the runner and not sent to {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %}.

If an output is skipped because it may contain a secret, you will see the following warning message: "Skip output `{output.Key}` since it may contain secret." For more information on how to handle secrets, please refer to the [Example: Masking and passing a secret between jobs or workflows](/actions/writing-workflows/choosing-what-your-workflow-does/workflow-commands-for-github-actions#example-masking-and-passing-a-secret-between-jobs-or-workflows).
