A software update group in Configuration Manager contains a set of software updates. Software update groups offer several benefits for deploying and monitoring software updates and are part of Microsoft’s recommended Software Updates workflow.
Using a software update group allows you to automate the process of approving and deploying software updates with automatic deployment rules. Tracking the compliance state for the software updates in deployments is an important task for Configuration Manager admins. If deployments are made without update groups, it’s very hard to get the overall compliance state for the same set of software updates that have been sent out with multiple deployments. When update groups are used instead, you can use the Compliance 1 - Overall Compliance report for the set of updates in the software update group or the Compliance 3 - Update Group (Per Update) report to get a list of the updates in an update group and the overall compliance of each. This is a great reason to use software update groups as a part of your software update procedure.
