This cmdlet updates the data stored in a module manifest file. The parameters allow you to specify
which properties get updated. Update-PSModuleManifest
overwrites any existing values in the module
manifest.
The cmdlet doesn't return an object.
This example changes the Author property in the module manifest to New Author
.
Update-PSModuleManifest -Path 'C:\MyModules\TestModule' -Author 'New Author'
This example changes the Prerelease property to beta2
.
Update-PSModuleManifest -Path 'C:\MyModules\TestModule' -Prerelease 'beta2'
This example updates multiple properties.
$parameters = @{
Path = 'C:\MyModules\TestModule'
Tags = 'Windows', 'Linux'
Description = 'A module for managing packages.'

the caller's session state.
If a module has a manifest file and no file is specified in the RootModule key, the manifest
becomes the primary file for the module. The module is known as a manifest module (ModuleType =
Manifest
).
