 ## Using the `dotnet-quality` input
-This input sets up the action to install the latest build of the specified quality in the channel. The possible values of `dotnet-quality` are: **daily**, **signed**, **validated**, **preview**, **ga**.
 
-> **Note**: `dotnet-quality` input can be used only with .NET SDK version in 'A.B', 'A.B.x', 'A', 'A.x' and 'A.B.Cxx' formats where the major version is higher than 5. In other cases, `dotnet-quality` input will be ignored.
+The `dotnet-quality` input installs the latest build of the specified quality in the channel. Supported values: `daily`, `preview`, `ga`. For more details about quality options, see the [official .NET documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/dotnet-install-script#options).
+
+> **Important**: `dotnet-quality` is a single input shared across all versions listed in `dotnet-version` for the same step (and is only applied where supported by the version format), so per-version quality is not supported. For example, setting `dotnet-quality: preview` for `10.0.x` and `11.0.x` resolves both versions as previews. To install a released SDK alongside a preview SDK, use separate steps:
+
+```yaml
+steps:

+- uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v6

+    dotnet-quality: 'preview'
+```
+
+> **Note**: When used with a specific SDK version, `dotnet-quality` supports only `A.B`, `A.B.x`, `A`, `A.x`, and `A.B.Cxx` formats where the major version is higher than 5. For all other formats, `dotnet-quality` will be ignored.

For prerelease versions, the exact pinned version is always installed regardless of the `rollForward` setting.
+
+> **Important**: When using `rollForward` in `global.json`, the `sdk.version` field must be a fully-qualified SDK version (e.g., `8.0.100`, `10.0.100`). Wildcard versions (e.g., `10.0.*`) and runtime-style versions (e.g., `8.0.0`) are not supported. See the [.NET SDK version specification](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/tools/global-json#version) for details.

 ## Caching NuGet Packages
 The action has a built-in functionality for caching and restoring dependencies. It uses [toolkit/cache](https://github.com/actions/toolkit/tree/main/packages/cache) under the hood for caching global packages data but requires less configuration settings. The `cache` input is optional, and caching is turned off by default.

+## Using the `check-latest` input
+
+By default (`check-latest: true`) the action resolves and installs the latest version matching the request online, which is the historical behavior. With `check-latest: false` it first looks for an SDK already installed under [`DOTNET_INSTALL_DIR`](#environment-variables) and reuses it, skipping SDK resolution and download — useful for air-gapped or preloaded runners (the `cache` and `workloads` inputs still use the network). If none matches, it installs online as usual.
+
+```yaml
+steps:
+- uses: actions/checkout@v7
+- name: Reuse a preinstalled SDK when available
+  uses: actions/setup-dotnet@v6
+  with:
+    dotnet-version: '8.0.x'
+    check-latest: false
+- run: dotnet build <my project>
+```
+
+An installed SDK is reused only when it matches the requested spec (`A.B.C`, `A.B`, `A.B.x`, `A.B.Cxx`, `A`, `A.x` or `latest`; `x`, `X` and `*` interchange except in a feature band, which is lowercase `Cxx`), satisfies `dotnet-quality`, is not older than the `sdk.version` declared in `global.json`, and sits next to a runnable `dotnet` executable. As online, `dotnet-quality` is ignored for a full `A.B.C` request, so such a request always resolves to a GA SDK. Cross-architecture requests, `latest` with an `LTS` or `STS` channel, and a bare wildcard always install online.
+
+When the request comes from `global.json`, the SDK is picked the way the .NET resolver picks one: `latestPatch`, `latestFeature`, `latestMinor` and `latestMajor` take the **highest** SDK the policy allows, while `feature`, `minor` and `major` roll forward to the **nearest** higher feature band, minor or major and then take its latest patch. `patch` — the default when `rollForward` is omitted — prefers the declared version, otherwise the latest patch in its band. `disable` and a prerelease `sdk.version` require an exact match, and `allowPrerelease` is not used: `dotnet-quality` is the only prerelease control.
+
+### Setting `check-latest` from the environment
+
+When the input is not set, the action reads the `DOTNET_CHECK_LATEST` environment variable (`true` or `false`, case-insensitive; an unsupported value warns and is ignored), which covers workflows you cannot edit. Setting it on a self-hosted runner alongside SDKs preinstalled under [`DOTNET_INSTALL_DIR`](#environment-variables) lets those workflows run without reaching `aka.ms`, `builds.dotnet.microsoft.com` or `ci.dot.net`. It applies to every job on that runner, so a dedicated runner is recommended; any workflow can still override it with an explicit `check-latest` input.
