> [!NOTE]
> **Changes to files in a git submodule:** For {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} to detect changes to files inside a git submodule, filter on the path to the top-level submodule itself, not on paths within the submodule. For example, if a submodule is checked out at `submodules/my-library`, use `paths: - submodules/my-library/**`. The paths to individual files inside the submodule are not tracked by the parent repository's workflow filters.
