An Interim Fix is a group of critical issues that have been repaired since the product fix pack or patch was released.

The Interim Fix is cumulative and may contain other fixes in addition to the issues that affect your site.

The Interim Fix must be applied in full in order to be supportable. Customers should validate this Interim Fix by installing it in a test environment before rolling it out to a production environment.

Interim Fixes, by their very nature, go through a limited quality assurance cycle and may not be included in the latest available program patch.
