DOCS: Instructions for Microsoft.Build.CopyOnWrite do not adequately explain how to install it

The Microsoft.Build.CopyOnWrite MSBuild SDK overrides the native MSBuild Copy task to add support for ReFS and Dev Drive CloneFile (Copy on Write or CoW) on Windows. It is designed to be as backwards compatible as possible and should directly replace all usages of Copy in MSBuild.

That is the introduction to the CopyOnWrite package. However there are no actual instructions on how to use it. I was excited to find out this week about DevDrives and this is the last piece to get the full benefits. There is only a mention of Central Package Management, which personally I've never heard of.

• Is it as simple as installing the package in my project (.NET Framework and/or .NET Core)?
• Do I need to install it in all projects?
• Do I need to change build tasks or anything like that?
• How do I verify it's working?

Also it would be good to include information about the future update to Windows that will make this package redundant.

Start with the Microsoft.Build.CopyOnWrite documentation under src/CopyOnWrite and the existing mention of Central Package Management. Determine and document installation scope, required project or build changes, verification steps, and the future Windows update that may make the package redundant.
