Editor's Notes
- #6: SandboxedSolutionsdeprecated statement: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj163114.aspx
- #7: Sandbox solutionsSandbox solutions are upgraded with the content databases and activated once upgrade is complete. If your solution includes customizations, however, you’ll need to evaluate them individually to ensure they work as expected in the new environment.Note that code-based sandboxed solutions are still supported in SharePoint Online 2013 but, no further investments in that infrastructure are planned. We recommend you consider the Cloud App Model as an alternative.
