The OsAwareTabs component is imported but never used in the document. Remove this unused import to keep the code clean.

The link '/get-started/setup-and-tooling/' does not exist in the codebase. This should be '/get-started/prerequisites/' instead, which is the correct page for setup and prerequisites. This same issue appears on line 117 as well.

||
| ## Upgrade with the Aspire CLI | ||
|
|
||
| <Steps> | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Update the Aspire CLI** to the latest version: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| aspire update --self | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| <Aside type="note" title="Don't have the Aspire CLI installed?"> | ||
| If you haven't installed the Aspire CLI yet, see [Install the Aspire CLI](/reference/cli/) for installation instructions. | ||
| </Aside> | ||
|
|
||
| 2. **Update your Aspire project** by running: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| aspire update | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| This command automatically: | ||
|
|
||
| - Updates the `Aspire.AppHost.Sdk` version | ||
| - Updates all Aspire NuGet packages to the latest version | ||
| - Handles dependency resolution | ||
| - Supports both regular projects and Central Package Management (CPM) | ||
|
|
||
| </Steps> | ||
|
|
||

||
| ## Upgrade with the Upgrade Assistant CLI | ||
|
|
||
| The [Upgrade Assistant](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/porting/upgrade-assistant-overview) is another option for upgrading Aspire projects. | ||
|
|
||
| <Steps> | ||
|
|
||
| 1. **Install the Upgrade Assistant** (if not already installed): | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| dotnet tool install -g upgrade-assistant | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 2. **Run the upgrade** from your AppHost project directory: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| upgrade-assistant upgrade | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| 3. **Select the Aspire upgrades** option when prompted and follow the interactive prompts. | ||
|
|
||
| </Steps> | ||
|
|
||
| ## Update the VS Code extension (optional) | ||
|
|
||
| If you have the Aspire extension installed, you can update it to get the latest tooling support: | ||
|
|
||
| <Steps> | ||
|
|
||
| 1. Open VS Code | ||
| 2. Go to **Extensions** (<Kbd windows="Ctrl+Shift+X" mac="Cmd+Shift+X" />) | ||
| 3. Search for **.NET Aspire** | ||
| 4. Click **Update** if an update is available | ||
|
|
||
| </Steps> | ||

||
| ## Breaking changes | ||
|
|
||
| Review breaking changes for all versions between your current version and the target version. See the release notes in the [What's new](/whats-new/aspire-13-1/) section. | ||
|
|
||
| ## Remove the legacy workload (Aspire 8 only) | ||
|
|
||
| <Aside type="note"> | ||
| This step is only needed if you're upgrading from Aspire 8. Skip this if you're already on Aspire 9 or later. | ||
| </Aside> | ||
|
|
||
| The legacy **aspire workload** is no longer required and should be removed: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash | ||
| dotnet workload uninstall aspire | ||
| ``` | ||
|
|
||
| ## Verify the upgrade | ||
|
|
||
| After upgrading, run your application to ensure everything works as expected: | ||
|
|
||
| ```bash title="Run the Aspire application" | ||
| aspire run | ||
| ``` | ||
|

The PR description states that the article should use PivotSelector, Pivot, Tabs, and TabItem components for environment-specific instructions (Visual Studio, VS Code, CLI). However, none of these interactive components are present in the implementation. The article currently provides a simpler, linear upgrade guide without environment-specific pivots. If interactive components for different development environments are intended, they need to be added. If the current simpler approach is intentional, the PR description should be updated to reflect the actual implementation.

The link to install the Aspire CLI should point to '/get-started/install-cli/' instead of '/reference/cli/'. The reference section contains the CLI command documentation, but the installation instructions are in the get-started section.
