Description

The 'Async Package 101' link in Cookbook for Visual Studio points to site that requires a Microsoft Corporate account to access. Seems like it's only accessible to MS employees?

The link provided in the markdown is:

https://microsoft.sharepoint.com/teams/DD_VSIDE/_layouts/15/WopiFrame.aspx?sourcedoc=%7b84C6ABED-E111-4B5D-B2D6-8B6FAF37F0D4%7d&file=Async%20Package%20101.docx&action=default

Research direction

Open doc/cookbook_vs.md and inspect the link under the asynchronous Visual Studio package section. Verify whether the linked SharePoint document is accessible without a corporate account, then identify an accessible replacement or determine the appropriate link change and confirm the rendered documentation no longer points to the restricted site.
