In some specific projects (like 3rd party project templates, different web.config structure, modified project structure), migration process may fail by Project Migration extension. So, please follow the given steps to upgrade/downgrade Syncfusion version in Syncfusion Web applications manually:

1.Update Syncfusion Assemblies 

For ASP.NET/ASP.NET MVC Platform

From your Syncfusion Web application, get the referred Syncfusion assemblies list, and remove the existing Syncfusion references. Then, add the corresponding Syncfusion assemblies with the required Syncfusion version. You can get the required Syncfusion assemblies from the following Syncfusion Essential Studio setup installed location:
Location: {Drive}\Program Files (x86) \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\{Build Version}\Assemblies (or) {Drive}\Program Files (x86)\Syncfusion\Essential Studio\{Build Version}\precompiledassemblies\{Build Version}  

For E.g: C:\Program Files (x86) \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\15.3.0.29\Assemblies (or) C:\Program Files (x86) \Syncfusion\Essential Studio\15.3.0.29\precompiledassemblies\15.3.0.29 

Syncfusion Essential Studio setup installed location

For ASP.NET Core Platform

 

The ASP.NET Core platform projects have direct NuGet references, by default. So, you can update the Syncfusion related NuGet references by following the steps mentioned in the link: https://help.syncfusion.com/aspnet-core/installation#updating-a-nuget-package 
Corresponding version Syncfusion ASP.NET Core NuGet packages are shipped in the Syncfusion Essential Studio setup installed location. You can get and update the required NuGet packages from the following location:

2. Update Syncfusion JavaScript Assets

You can get and update the required Syncfusion Scripts and CSS files in your application in the following ways.
