+When a report output path is empty, `Invoke-Pester` uses its default location
+relative to `WorkingDirectory`:
+
+```text
+TestResult/PSScriptAnalyzer-TestResult-Report.xml
+CodeCoverage/PSScriptAnalyzer-CodeCoverage-Report.xml
+```
+
+Set either input to override only that report's location:
+
+```text
+TestResult_OutputPath: artifacts/TestResult/results.xml
+CodeCoverage_OutputPath: artifacts/CodeCoverage/coverage.xml
+```

 ## Outputs
 
 The action provides the following outputs:
