CopyFile not working as a nested element of File in vix v5

I am trying to include several files with the File tag and then copy them to a new location on download by nesting a CopyFile tag since that seems to be what the documentation says you should do, https://wixtoolset.org/docs/schema/wxs/copyfile/ but I am getting an error saying “The element ‘File’ in namespace ‘http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs’ has invalid child element ‘CopyFile’ in namespace ‘http://wixtoolset.org/schemas/v4/wxs’

WiX 5 with .NET 8 CustomAction?

I have a WiX 4 project and it’s referencing a CustomAction that is currently .NET Framework 4.8. I plan on upgrading the WiX project to WiX 5.0.0. Can I upgrade the CustomAction project to .NET 8 when I upgrade WiX? Or anything other than .NET Framework? I would like to stop requiring .NET 4.8 as a pre-requisite.
