Windows update builds

Question

I work for a SCADA energy solutions company and have a question about windows updates. I previously asked about whether or not one can download windows update offline, which I was reffered to Microsoft's website -Microsoft Update Catalog.
The question I have is how do we know what build number to download based on the server or workstation's operating system? For example, let's say I wanted to know what the current build for Server 2019 standard is and when the latest build was released? Also, when it comes to builds, let's say we are 3 rebuild versions behind; do we need the upgrade path to be by each build, or can we just update to the latest build? Aside from making an excel spreadsheet for a track of those builds, does Micrsoft provide on on their website when you can export the history of builds into a CSV file?

Hello,

considering the update, it is better to upgrade to upto date.

i mean in terms of rebuild versions

and considering the History of builds, it is safe to have a backup and as an alternative, you can rely on the Microsoft website for auto backup.

you should use Microsoft Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) ​ for Offline systems. You pair an online and an offline system together, approve the updates on the online one, allow it to download, export from the Online, import into the Offline, and your systems connect to the Offline and pull and install and report back to the Offline WSUS server.

It's so much easier than manually figuring everything out.
