+# .NET tool packaging invokes Publish instead of Build
+
+The .NET tool packaging process changed from invoking the MSBuild `Build` target to the `Publish` target (logically, not precisely). This means that assets that are included in `Publish` but not in `Build`, like WebSDK StaticWebAssets, now appear in tool packages by default. If you explicitly copied those files into place, you might begin to receive build diagnostics warning of duplicate copies.
+
+## Version introduced
+
+.NET 10 Preview 6
+
+## Previous behavior
+
+Previously when you ran `dotnet pack` on a project with `PackAsTool` set to `true`, it invoked the `Build` target, and only `Build`-created assets were included in the package.
+
+## New behavior
+
+Starting in .NET 10, the tool packaging process invokes the `Publish` target, which means `Publish`-created assets are included in the package. This includes StaticWebAssets and minified and trimmed application assets.
+
+## Type of breaking change
+
+This is a [behavioral change](../../categories.md#behavioral-change).
+
+## Reason for change
+
+This change enables the creation of optimized, platform-specific .NET Tool packages, and supports use cases like:
+
+- Self-contained tools.
+- Trimmed and AOT tools.
+- Tools that can eventually be used on platforms without an SDK or runtime installed.
+
+## Recommended action
+
+If your project is impacted, remove any explicit file copy customizations.
+
+## Affected APIs
+
+None.
