When Feed Tracking is enabled for an object, the primary function is to post updates to your personal feed regarding the fields that have been specifically designated for tracking. This ensures that users can see relevant changes immediately within their feeds, thereby enhancing communication and transparency around updates to records.

Tracked field updates encompass changes made to specific fields selected for monitoring. When a change occurs in any of these fields, a feed item is created to highlight this update, allowing users to stay informed about important modifications without needing to navigate away from their feeds.

While related list changes and user comments are important features in Salesforce, they do not generate feed updates under the Feed Tracking functionality. Feed Tracking is focused solely on the fields defined for tracking, making updates associated with these fields the primary content shared in the user's personal feed.
