Remarks

While a Web site Feature is scoped at the individual Web site level, a site collection Feature contains items that apply to the site collection as a whole (for example, content types that are shared across the site collection), as well as items that can be activated per site. Elements that can have either site collection or site scope include list definitions (templates and instances), modules (file sets), and item content type behaviors (per-item custom menu options and per-item events).
