✨ Capabilities

1️⃣ Script samples gallery

Using PnP PS: Open samples gallery command, or the 'Samples' button from the controls above the command list, you may open the gallery with all available script samples. Currently, the samples shown are retrieved from the PnP script samples repository. From the samples gallery you may go to the sample location or create a new tab (file) in the editor prefilled with the PnP PowerShell script. It is possible to search for samples by:

  • title
  • authors
  • commands used in samples

The extensions help to quickly find the correct PnP PowerShell command and use it thanks to code snippets. The command is added along with all required parameters.

Each snippet has a description which may be found in the docs which is a great help to quickly understand the commands functionality.
