Hey, everyone.
Welcome back to the last part of my course on getting
the most out of PowerShell help.
while you should be able to get a lot of useful information locally,
that is from a PowerShell prompt, there are in fact other ways.
Now PowerShell help can actually be quite rich.
You've seen already that PowerShell help can be updated from online sources.
There is also a provision in PowerShell help to provide a link
to an online version of the help content.
Now this isn't a requirement in PowerShell,
and you'll encounter plenty of help files that don't use it,
but it can be very useful when it is available.
As far as I can tell,
all of the core PowerShell commands from Microsoft have online links.
This is good because often the online source can be updated
without having to wait for the help to be packaged for
downloading when you run update help.
Basically what I'm trying to say is the online help is often the most
current and eventually will be the help that you see locally.
The other thing I want you to know,
and a reason for checking out the online help,
is that PowerShell's help files are all open source.
People like you can post issues against the documentation,
reporting mistakes or making suggestions for additional content,
or because it is open source, anyone, again,
could be you, can submit a pull request and improve the
quality of the help files. Now don't worry, I'm not going to
get into that process in this course, but it is something I wanted you to be aware of.
