 For advanced scenarios, use `cache-dependency-path` to specify:
 - **Multiple dependency files**: When your project has dependencies in different directories
-- **Custom locations**: When your `go.sum` files are not in the repository root
+- **Custom locations**: When your `go.mod` files are not in the repository root
 - **Monorepos**: When managing multiple Go modules in a single repository
 - **Glob patterns**: For flexible file matching
