+## Echoing command outputs
+
+```
+::echo::on
+::echo::off
+```
+
+Enables or disables echoing of workflow commands. For example, if you use the `set-output` command in a workflow, it sets an output parameter but the workflow run's log does not show the command itself. If you enable command echoing, then the log shows the command, such as `::set-output name={name}::{value}`.
+
+Command echoing is disabled by default. However, a workflow command is echoed if there are any error occurs processing the command.
+
+The `add-mask`, `debug`, `warning`, and `error` commands do not support echoing because their outputs are already echoed to the log.
+
+You can also enable command echoing globally by turning on step debug logging using the `ACTIONS_STEP_DEBUG` secret. For more information, see "[Enabling debug logging](/actions/managing-workflow-runs/enabling-debug-logging)". In contrast, the `echo` workflow command lets you enable command echoing at a more granular level, rather than enabling it for every workflow in a repository.
+
+### Example toggling command echoing
+
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  workflow-command-job:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: toggle workflow command echoing
+        run: |
+          echo '::set-output name=action_echo::disabled'
+          echo '::echo::on'
+          echo '::set-output name=action_echo::enabled'
+          echo '::echo::off'
+          echo '::set-output name=action_echo::disabled'
+```
+
+The step above prints the following lines to the log:
+
+```
+::set-output name=action_echo::enabled
+::echo::off
+```
+
+Only the second `set-output` and `echo` workflow commands are included in the log because command echoing was only enabled when they were run. Even though it is not always echoed, the output parameter is set in all cases.

 ## Sending values to the pre and post actions
 
 You can use the `save-state` command to create environment variables for sharing with your workflow's `pre:` or `post:` actions. For example, you can create a file with the `pre:` action,  pass the file location to the `main:` action, and then use the `post:` action to delete the file. Alternatively, you could create a file with the `main:` action, pass the file location to the `post:` action, and also use the `post:` action to delete the file.
