+## Using the `architecture` input
+Using the architecture input, it is possible to specify the required .NET SDK architecture. Possible values:  `x64`, `x86`, `arm64`, `amd64`, `arm`, `s390x`, `ppc64le`, `riscv64`. If the input is not specified, the architecture defaults to the host OS architecture (not all of the architectures are available on all platforms).

+## Using the `workloads` input
+The `workloads` input allows you to install .NET workloads as part of the SDK setup. Workloads provide additional platform tools and dependencies for frameworks. This action automatically runs `dotnet workload update` before installing the specified workloads to ensure manifests are refreshed and existing workloads are updated to their latest compatible versions.

+    workloads: workload1, workload2  # Specify the workloads required for the project, such as wasm-tools, maui, etc.
+- run: dotnet build <my project>
+```
+
+> **Note**: Ensure workloads are compatible with your runner's OS, architecture, and .NET SDK version before enabling workload installation. Some workloads may require additional installation time due to large toolchain downloads.
