Feature update
Feature updates provide new features and functionality. A new feature update may involve a major application overhaul, improvements to application architecture or a change in operating system support.
Servicing update
Servicing updates provide fixes and improvements that are essential for security and stability. These updates do not add or remove functionality; they only fix or improve existing features.
Build
A build is the unique identifier of the deployed application that is ready for use. A build denotes a combination of feature and servicing updates. The latest build contains (in the latest servicing update) all fixes in the specified feature update.
