We know that we can move changes or our development changes
from one ServiceNow instance (for e.g., developer instance) to another ServiceNow
instance (for e.g., test instance) through update set. It is very easy to move
update if there is only one or two update set or the development work done by
single developer. But let’s say if 8-10 developers are working on multiple
functionalities then it will be hard to move changes from one instance to
another in sequence. So here merge update set ServiceNow will help to move updates in a
single go and in a sequential manner. Below you will in depth understanding of ServiceNow
update set.

What Merge Update Set in ServiceNow does?
When we merge the update sets, system will automatically
take the sequence that on what fashion update set will be committed in another ServiceNow
instance.
We can merge the update set which are in complete state even
though we can also merge update set which are in progress state. Below image
will give you the idea of the same:
When we merge the update set, then the merged update set
contain all the updates of the update set which we have merged with automatic
sequencing and all the updates which were listed in the update set which we have
merged. For e.g., Update set A and Update Set B merged into Update Set C, then
update set C will contain all the updates of A and B and after merging update
of A and updates of B will not be there in Update A and Update B.
When we merge In Progress update or completed update set the state of merged update set always set to in progress.
Merge Complete State Update Set:
Now let see if we merge two updates set which are in
complete state, then the merged update set will contain below:
1. When we merged two updates set which has same changes
updates for example change label to XYZ in first update set and then again
change it to ABC in second update set, then merged update set will contain the
latest version or entry where label has changed ABC.
2. The update set we merged; the state of those update set will automatically change to ignore.
Merge In Progress State Update Set:
Now let see if we merge two updates set which are in In Progress
state, then the merged update set will contain below:
1. We have to manually change the state to ignore of the update
set which has to be merged.
2. It contain all the updates of the update set which we
merged however when we merge completed update set then it only contains the
latest entry when it is of same functionality.

sets etc.
