If your data factory includes any of the connectors listed in the [parent article](connector-deprecation-plan.md) announcing the **End of Support**, you should plan to migrate to the newer version of the connector or explore alternative solutions before the deprecation/disabled date.

Alternatively, you can check if you have any impacted objects in your data factory by navigating to **Manage → Linked Services** page. If you have any legacy connectors, an alert icon will be displayed beside those linked services.

Your upgrade path may vary depending on the connector:

1. **Review the differences** – Upgrading your connector may or may not be straightforward. We recommend first reviewing our connector [documentation](connector-deprecation-plan.md#overview), which highlights the differences between the legacy and new versions and offers detailed upgrade guidance.
5051
2. **Migrate to the new connector** – For legacy connectors with updated versions, we strongly recommend migrating to the new connector.
5152
3. **If you're blocked from upgrading** – If you're unable to upgrade to the new connector, determine whether it's due to a feature gap or an error/bug with the new connector. Then follow the instructions outlined under [question 6](#6-what-should-i-do-if-i-encounter-the-feature-gaps-and-errors-bugs-that-are-preventing-me-from-migrating-to-the-new-connectors) to contact us.
