Can I learn what help text is updated after Update-Help ?

Question

After Update-Help is executed is there any way to learn what help text has been changed?

Answer 1

By the way; a whole bunch of updates were just posted this morning.
function Get-NewHelp {
Param (
$logfile = "$pwd\NewHelp-$([datetime]::Now.ToString('yyy-MM-dd HH.mm.ss')).csv"
$date1 = (dir C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\en-us\*help* -rec -File | sort lastwritetime -Descending | select -first 1).LastWriteTime
$date2 = (dir C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\modules\*help* -rec -File | sort lastwritetime -Descending | select -first 1).LastWriteTime
Update-Help -force
$files = @()
$files += dir C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\en-us\*help* |
where{ $_.LastWriteTime -gt $date1 + 1d } |
select fullname, lastwritetime, length
$files += dir C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\modules\*help* -rec |
where{ $_.LastWriteTime -gt $date2 + 1d } |
select fullname, lastwritetime, length
if ($files) {
$files | sort fullname | Export-Csv $logfile
Write-Host "$($files.count) files listed to $logfile" -fore black -BackgroundColor white
} else {
Write-Host 'No files updated today' -Fore green
Not perfect but it works.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
