I have a file it has a Hold - There are a number of holds in the hold list how do i find out which one this file has

Question

Hi
I have a file which has a Hold.
However, It could be one of a number of Holds as defined by the Holds list. How do I (ideally in PowerShell) find out which hold is being used to hold the file and how can I remove that Hold from the file so I can change it and re-apply the hold ?
Thanks

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to remove Hold from the file.
If an item has been added to more than one hold, you can view the list of holds that pertain to that by using the Compliance Details command.
Open the list or library that contains the item for which you want to view the hold information.
Point to the item that you want, click the arrow that appears, and then click Compliance Details.
On the Compliance Details dialog, click Add/Remove from hold.
On the Hold Status page, click the arrow under the Remove from hold option to view a list of holds the item is associated with.
You can use the Compliance Details command to remove an individual item from a hold.
Open the list or library that contains the item that you want to remove from a hold.
Point to the item that you want, click the arrow that appears, and then click Compliance Details.
In the Hold Status section, click Add/Remove from a hold.
On the Item Hold Status page, select the Remove from hold option and then select the hold from which you want to release the item.
Click Save.
