 ## [Unreleased]
 ### Added
+- Added support for using the action in multiple steps in the same job ([#26](https://github.com/cross-platform-actions/action/issues/26)).
+
 - Added support for specifying that the VM should not shutdown after the action
     has run. This adds a new input parameter: `shutdown_vm`. When set to `false`,
     this will hopefully mitigate very frequent freezing of VM during teardown ([#61](https://github.com/cross-platform-actions/action/issues/61), [#72](https://github.com/cross-platform-actions/action/issues/72)).
