Documentation on updating your SDK ahead of a VS update

**Help us make content visible**

SDK, VS, runtime, global.json

**Describe the new article**

During internal discussions, some questions came up around SDK/runtime releases and customers who either cannot and haven't updated their Visual Studio versions. In particular, we weren't sure if we could release a VS release on the same day as a .net security release and wanted a playbook we could point to if we had to do this release.

Is there a good location for this note/playbook?

The recommendation for the customer would be to install the newer stand-alone SDK from the same feature band as their current VS. Then the customer would have to ensure their global.json doesn't pin them to an exact version.

Alternatively, customers could use RuntimeFrameworkVersion to override the implicit version but this requires updating the project (and would need to be removed later) and doesn't support multi-targeting so it's not a recommended solution.
