Poweshell - Record script running to file

Question

Hello-
Powershell newbie here. :)
I am running a powershell script which runs a few functions. I have the script written they way I want but what I would like is to have what is displayed in the powershell window written to a text file. For
example I one function I am performing in the script is zipping files. In tthe powershell window I see this:
