Hi @nagaramsaik 

When we get an instance there are few update set that come as OOTB-like default. Are you referring to this ? or what is your exact question?

Hi @nagaramsaik 

In ServiceNow, there are 2 types of update sets generally -  

• System update sets: An update set is a group of configuration changes 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 systems for testing or deployment.
• Local update sets: A menu in the system update set that lists all the update sets in the system.

Update sets store and apply changes to applications or the base system. They can also be used to:

• Deploy patches or changes to installed applications
• Store and apply a specific version of an application
• Produce a file for export 

Here are some tips for using update sets: 

• Create a naming convention for update sets to coordinate changes from multiple developers 
• Include the problem ticket in the name of update sets generated as fixes 
• If more than one update set is needed to address a problem, include a sequence number in the name 
• Avoid committing update sets to a production instance during business hours 
• Don't use update sets to install applications
