Azure Devops: what does changed date mean? What kind of changes does it track?

Question

I am working in a change management team and I need to create a dashboard where I can see how many changes have been within an area path. I created a query with the field "changed date" however I do not know what does that track? Does it track if there is any change in the description? What I am interested in is that how many features have been moved to the next iteration path.
