There are many different reasons why you would apply custom branding to a SharePoint site. These reasons can include corporate identity, usability, marketing, etc. Office 365 SharePoint sites support customized branding. Resources in this section will help you consider the short and long-term impact of customization from an operational and a maintenance perspective. This is not really specific for SharePoint; but is rather a rule of thumb for any IT solution built with any platform.

Script Embedding means a pattern where custom JavaScript is added on the page which then modifies the end user experiences by modifying the html DOM structure. Typical approaches for this model is to use either *User Custom Actions*, *JSLink*, *Content Editor Web Part* or *Script Editor Web Part*. Challenge of the DOM manipulation related model is dependency on the actual page structure. These kind of customizations are fragile and can easily break as new capabilities are released in SharePoint Online.

Both in SharePoint Online and in SharePoint 2013/2016 on-premises you can define workflow processes using the Workflow Manager engine. In SharePoint Online you can only use declarative workflows, designed in SharePoint Designer 2013, or Workflow Add-Ins built using Microsoft Visual Studio and the SharePoint Add-In Model. In SharePoint 2013/2016 you can eventually create custom code-based workflows or custom actions. However, you should be careful using code-based workflows on-premises, because that could be a road blocker while migrating to SharePoint Online and Office 365.
