Modifying TFS process template to implement Nuget Package Restore

Question

I've migrated away from the MSBuild package restore to the automatic package restore which restores packages before the builds begins. (http://docs.nuget.org/docs/workflows/migrating-to-automatic-package-restore)

According to this article http://docs.nuget.org/docs/reference/package-restore-with-team-build TFS 2013 and Visual Studio Online don't need any special configuration, but I've opened up the xaml process templates and they do not implement the NuGetRestore activity. As you can see it's available for use, but I can't find any articles on how to implement it properly.

I've checked all of these templates

Answer 1

The TfvcTemplate.12.xaml makes use of a build activity which generates the nuget restore action on the fly. Therefore you don't see it in the workflow.
