 ## Node version file
 
-The `node-version-file` input accepts a path to a file containing the version of Node.js to be used by a project, for example `.nvmrc`, `.node-version`, `.tool-versions`, or `package.json`. If both the `node-version` and the `node-version-file` inputs are provided then the `node-version` input is used.
