 ```
 
+## Multi-stage upload
+
+This plugin, during the execution of the `createStagingRepositoryOn[Repo]` task, exports a file in
+`build/staging-repo-ids.properties` containing the staging repository ID in the format `[Repo]=<repo-id>`.
+
+This file can be used to export all the repository IDs to the environment, and then use them in other jobs.
+
+An example below shows how to use this feature to upload artifacts to a staging repository from a different job.
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  build:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    outputs:
+      repositoryId: ${{ steps.createStagingRepository.outputs.MavenCentralStagingRepositoryId }}
