+### Download Artifacts by ID
+
+The `artifact-ids` input allows downloading artifacts using their unique ID rather than name. This is particularly useful when working with immutable artifacts from `actions/upload-artifact@v4` which assigns a unique ID to each artifact.
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
+  with:
+    artifact-ids: 12345
+- name: Display structure of downloaded files
+  run: ls -R
+```
+
+Multiple artifacts can be downloaded by providing a comma-separated list of IDs:
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/download-artifact@v4
+  with:
+    artifact-ids: 12345,67890
+    path: path/to/artifacts
+- name: Display structure of downloaded files
+  run: ls -R path/to/artifacts
+```
+
+This will download multiple artifacts to separate directories (similar to downloading multiple artifacts by name).
