Delegate Controls
You can find here the complete list of delegate controls .We can easily override these controls with our custom implementations. In subsequent posts we can see how to override these Delegate Controls one by one.
| Delegate Control | Screen Shot | Descriptions |
| GlobalNavigation |  | To add the custom links globally. |
| GlobalSiteLink3 |  | To enable Farm level global links and not specific for web application or site collection level |
| SuiteBarBrandingDelegate |  | To override the default “SharePoint” text at left corner |
| SuiteLinksDelegate |  | To add more links like “Newsfeed”, “SkyDrive” |
| GlobalSiteLink0 |  | SharePoint uses this one to publish the variations menu. Please carefully override this Delegate control if needed |
| PromotedActions |  | To add more links between Share and Follow icon |
| PublishingConsole |  | While editing the page, Server Ribbon will be loaded using this Delegate Control and we extend this using Custom Action |
| SmallSearchInputBox |  | This delegate control will be using to override Search box |
| QuickLaunchDataSource |  | To load the custom quick launch data source |
| TreeViewAndDataSource |  | To load the custom tree view data source |
| AdditionalPageHead | N/A | This will be available inside the <head> tag and helpful to load the custom css / javascript |
Master Page Regions
Next I started to identify the master page regions. This will be helpful to apply our custom branding successfully. You can see the major region in the blow screen shot.
I have captured below the starting tag of each region and it will be helpful us to reposition the regions based on our requirements.
