@ServiceNow Use6 

1) Homepages

2) Data

3) Schedule jobs

4) Database changes

The above mentioned entities are not automatically captured in update set, rest everything captured in update set once modified or created

Hi @ServiceNow Use6

What is an update set?

An update set is a group of customizations that can be moved from one instance to another. This feature allows administrators to group a series of changes into a named set and then move them as a unit to other instances. Update sets allow customizations to be developed in a development instance, moved to a test instance, and then applied to a production instance.

In short, update sets "record" your development efforts in ServiceNow so that you can move them from Development to Production.

When do update sets track your customization?

• Where the table has an update_synch dictionary attribute.
• Where there is a special handler to track changes to multiple tables.
• Where the administrator has not specifically excluded a field from updates.

In short, the update set captures the system configuration changes you make to the system. This includes, but is not limited to:

• Tables
• fields
• form layout
• list layout
• business rules, client scripts, script includes, and other scripts
• workflows
• system properties

What it does NOT capture is your transactional data like

• Incidents
• Users
• Groups
• Email

I hope that helps.

If database changes are  part of dictionary/table definition, they are included.
