Hi,
If you are considering to migrate then better to go .NET 6. You can follow the office migration guide.
What to do now that Core 3.1 is not supported?

I just noticed that Core 3.1 is no longer supported.
At work, I'm confined to .Net Framework 4.7.2, and VS 2019.
Is there something I can upgrade to that is supported, or just stay with 3.1
until the company upgrades the framework?

You can use vs code or vs 2022 community instead. If this is not allowed, then you need to drop back to 4.* framework.
If you drop back, you can use netstandard 2.0 for the library projects, but you will be limited to c# 7

Anonymous2023-01-05T07:43:50.827+00:00 Hi @Coreysan ,
.NET 6 is supported with Visual Studio 2022 and Visual Studio 2022 for Mac. It is not supported with Visual Studio 2019, Visual Studio for Mac 8, or MSBuild 16. If you want to use .NET 6, you will need to upgrade to Visual Studio 2022 (which is also now 64-bit). Refer to this article.
If you can't install the VS 2022, you can stay with 3.1. After the company upgrades the VS 2022, refer to the Asp.net core Migration document to migrate the application from 3.1 to 5.0 and then migrate to 6.0.

If you need a migration guide from .NET Core 3.1 to .NET 6, you can follow the below article and the official guide.
