Overall looks good and does not seem to impact any existing workflows. Approving to move this PR along, will defer to @rashidnhm for technical review of the actions.

Is this still only looking at demonstrations_v2

... As new demos are added, will this actually build them?

From look at here it seems this is still only v2?

Should we hold this PR until #1361 is merged?

Yep @rashidnhm — That is correct, we are still only looking at the demostrations_v2 directory. If new demos are added to the original directory (demonstrations) they will not be built. We will run a sync closer to release? Does that sound good?

Yup, was just ensuring we are aware of it
