* Any environment variables set in an `env` context defined at the workflow level in the caller workflow are not propagated to the called workflow. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/actions/learn-github-actions/variables)" and "[AUTOTITLE](/actions/learn-github-actions/contexts#env-context)."
* Similarly, environment variables set in the `env` context, defined in the called workflow, are not accessible in the `env` context of the caller workflow. Instead, you must use outputs of the reusable workflow. For more information, see "[AUTOTITLE](/actions/using-workflows/reusing-workflows#using-outputs-from-a-reusable-workflow).
* To reuse variables in multiple workflows, set them at the organization, repository, or environment levels and reference them using the `vars` context. For more information see "[AUTOTITLE](/actions/learn-github-actions/variables)" and "[AUTOTITLE](/actions/learn-github-actions/contexts#vars-context)."
* Reusable workflows are called directly within a job, and not from within a job step. You cannot, therefore, use `GITHUB_ENV` to pass values to job steps in the caller workflow.
