Standard Objects & Change Sets
We have made a number of architectrual changes to standard objects (adding fields, changing layouts, creating rules, etc) in a sandbox environment and want to move these to the production environment. What is the best way to do this? Is it possible to move object by object or do we move the entire sandbox over? When we tried to test this out using changesets, it looks like it would only allow us to move a custom object, not a standard object, so we must be missing something. Thanks in advance for your help!
You can create a changeset with all your "components" that you want to deploy at once.
A changeset can contain hundreds of components and can be validated and deployed altogether.
The problem is for the translations (I use billingual orgs French/English).

Picklist value sets on custom fields are deployed with the field itself (known issue: https://success.salesforce.com/issues_view?id=a1p30000000wkHCAAY )
For the picklist value sets on standard fields, you cannot deploy them with a changeset (vote here: https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000HJ3kAAG (https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000HJ3kAAG ) https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000YkWTAA0 (https://success.salesforce.com/ideaView?id=08730000000YkWTAA0 ) )
The following types of components can be added to a change set:

Good luck for your changeset! (that can work automatically like a charm but there are often some remaining manual actions whatever happens for our biggest changesets)

There are only the custom objects and the custom fields separately in the changeset. The standard objects and fields cannot be deleted (nor modified) and always already exist in all orgs (excepted when the versions are different).
You just have to add each new custom fields of your standard objects in your changeset (the standard object itself already exists).
