 # Using a Separate Migrations Project
 
-You may want to store your migrations in a different project than the one containing your `DbContext`. You can also use this strategy to maintain multiple sets of migrations, for example, one for development and another for release-to-release upgrades.
+You may want to store your migrations in a different project than the one containing your `DbContext`. This is recommended if your project uses a platform-specific project type, such as WinUI, Xamarin, MAUI, Blazor, or Azure Functions, or if it targets a specific runtime identifier (RID). You can also use this strategy to maintain multiple sets of migrations, for example, one for development and another for release-to-release upgrades.

+> [!TIP]
+> If your application uses dependency injection, consider implementing <xref:Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore.Design.IDesignTimeDbContextFactory`1> in your migrations project. This allows the EF tools to create your `DbContext` without needing to run the startup project. For more information, see [From a design-time factory](xref:core/cli/dbcontext-creation#from-a-design-time-factory).
