Earlier today I learned about the cache and run workflow option but now as I am trying to use it the option is grayed out in the menu and won't let me select it. Why is that?
That may be either because you are attempting to cache on a tool that has multiple outputs.
Or because your workflow joins on to itself downstream.
Try caching at the end of your workflow on something simple like a Select Tool with single output anchor.
@CherieACI Just add to @PhilipMannering , below the a few things we need to know about Cache.

A bit late to the party in answering this question.
Sometime, when you just expect that you should be able to cache because you think that all you've selected are input files, but it's grayed/greyed out.
I noticed that if there are comment box selected in this group, the ability to cache will not be available. Therefore, if you deselect the comment box you'll get the option to cache.
I hope that this will be useful to someone someday.
