 	Useful for CI/agent scenarios where you want to see recent output without piping.
 	The full output is still written to LogFile if specified.
 
+.PARAMETER SkipRestore
+	Skips restoring NuGet packages
+
+.PARAMETER SkipNative
+	Skips building native C++ components. Use this for faster iterations when making purely managed code changes.
+
+.PARAMETER ForceBuildBuildTasks
+	Buld FwBuildTasks even if FwBuildTasks.dll already exists. BuildTasks are rarely updated, so the default is not to build them.
+
 .PARAMETER BuildInstaller
 	If set, builds the installer via Build/InstallerBuild.proj after the main build.
 	This automatically enables -BuildAdditionalApps unless explicitly disabled.
