How do you specify which project to build from a multi-project solution in a github yml file? - yaml

Question

I recently connected my GitHub solution to my Azure AppService and it automatically created a yml build and deploy file which is great, thanks Microsoft. The issue is I have 4 projects in my solution but only want the Api deployed to the App service. How to I specify that?
build:
runs-on: windows-latest
steps:
- uses: actions/checkout#v2
- name: Set up .NET Core
uses: actions/setup-dotnet#v1
with:
dotnet-version: '7.x'
include-prerelease: true
- name: Build with dotnet
run: dotnet build --configuration Release
- name: dotnet publish
run: dotnet publish -c Release -o ${{env.DOTNET_ROOT}}/myapp
- name: Upload artifact for deployment job
uses: actions/upload-artifact#v2
with:
name: .net-app
path: ${{env.DOTNET_ROOT}}/myapp
deploy:
runs-on: windows-latest
needs: build
environment:
name: 'Production'
url: ${{ steps.deploy-to-webapp.outputs.webapp-url }}
steps:
- name: Download artifact from build job
uses: actions/download-artifact#v2
with:
name: .net-app
- name: Deploy to Azure Web App
id: deploy-to-webapp
uses: azure/webapps-deploy#v2
with:
app-name: 'popupshop'
slot-name: 'Production'
publish-profile: ${{ secrets.somesecret}}
package: .

After much trial and error:
run: dotnet build ProjectFolder/Project.csproj --configuration Release
...
run: dotnet publish ProjectFolder/Project.csproj -c Release -o ${{env.DOTNET_ROOT}}/myapp
