This video goes over installing the Input System via Unity's Package Manager, creating an Input Action Asset and assigning an action map, making several actions of different Action Types and assigning multiple bindings to each, mentioning Interactions, Processors, and Control Schemes available, Generating a C# class from the Input Action Asset and referencing it in code, subscribing to the different events that the actions send (started, performed, cancelled), getting the values from the actions directly, using the PlayerInput component to get the values instead (lots of nice helper functions here), assigning an InputAction through the Inspector along with getting a reference to an existing action through an InputActionReference (you can also reference a map!), creating actions dynamically through code, using the Input Debugger to see your actions at runtime, and going over the Migrate from Old Input System guide that Unity posted.
