Deferred Site Collection Upgrade
 Faster upgrade approach
 It is the replacement of Visual Upgrade feature
 Visual upgrade preserves old master pages, CSS and HTML files only where deferred site
collection upgrade preserves many things, even Features.
 This upgrade allows you to use previous version of SharePoint UI seamlessly.
 Main difference – Site Collection (SPSite) UI will be upgraded granularly instead of Site
(SPWeb).
 “Once the site collection is upgraded then it cannot be rolled back.”
