+## Check latest version:  
+
+The `check-latest` flag defaults to `false`. Use the default or set `check-latest` to `false` if you prefer stability and if you want to ensure a specific Go version is always used.
+
+If `check-latest` is set to `true`, the action first checks if the cached version is the latest one. If the locally cached version is not the most up-to-date, a Go version will then be downloaded. Set `check-latest` to `true` if you want the most up-to-date Go version to always be used.
+
+> Setting `check-latest` to `true` has performance implications as downloading Go versions is slower than using cached versions.
