Hi @Azeemk 

Update sets don't capture data like users, roles or groups and reports, scheduled jobs, homepages etc.

  1. Data: Update Sets generally don't include data records. They primarily focus on capturing configuration changes such as changes to forms, lists, scripts, workflows, etc. Data migration typically requires a different approach such as Import Sets, Transform Maps, or data migration scripts.

  2. Roles and Users: Changes related to roles and users are not captured in Update Sets. This includes changes to user roles, user records, group memberships, and access controls.

  3. Scheduled Jobs: Any changes made to scheduled jobs or background scripts are not automatically captured in Update Sets.

  4. Some Customizations: Certain highly customized or platform-specific configurations may not be captured in Update Sets. It's essential to review the contents of an Update Set before moving it between instances to ensure all necessary changes are included.

  5. Some Plugin Configurations: While changes related to activating or deactivating plugins are captured, specific configurations within plugins may not be included in Update Sets.
