+Build Errors
+------------
+
+This document is for common build errors and how to resolve them.
+
+### Warning BUILD001
+
+> warning BUILD001: Package references changed since the last release...
+
+This warning indicates a breaking change might have been made to a package or assembly due to the removal of a reference which was used
+in a previous release of this assembly. See <./ReferenceResolution.md> for how to suppress.
+
+### Error BUILD002
+
+> error BUILD002: Package references changed since the last release...
+
+Similar to BUILD001, but this error is not suppressable. This error only appears in servicing builds, which should not change references between assemblies or packages.

 * Name the .csproj file to match the assembly name.
 * Run `build.cmd /t:GenerateProjectList` when adding new projects
 * Use [eng/tools/BaseLineGenerator/](/eng/tools/BaselineGenerator/README.md) if you need to update baselines.

        If you don't know the commit hash of the source code used to produce "0.0.1-beta-1", you can use `000000` as a placeholder for `Sha`
        as its value is unimportant and will be updated the next time the bot runs.

+## Example: make a breaking change to references
+
+If Microsoft.AspNetCore.Banana in 2.1 had a reference to `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Orange`, but in 3.0 this reference is changing to `Microsoft.AspNetCore.BetterThanOrange`, you would need to make these changes to the .csproj file
