+
+## Using `bootc image copy-to-storage`
+
+This experimental command is intended to aid in [booting local builds](booting-local-builds.md).
+
+Invoking this command will default to copying the booted container image into the `containers-storage:`
+area as used by e.g. `podman`, under the image tag `localhost/bootc` by default. It can
+then be managed independently; used as a base image, pushed to a registry, etc.
+
+Run `bootc image copy-to-storage --help` for more options.
+
+Example workflow:
+
+```
+$ bootc image copy-to-storage
+$ cat Containerfile
+FROM localhost/bootc
+...
+$ podman build -t localhost/bootc-custom .
+$ bootc switch --transport containers-storage localhost/bootc-custom
+```
