Notes for these crescent dough recipes:

Store any leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate.
No need to brush with melted butter since the dough has those flaky buttery layers, but depending on the recipe, it might help with the finishing touches and a golden top.
Cook in batches if you want to double a recipe. The air fryer baskets are limited in space, and you will want to make sure that the insides of these crescent rolls are done.
