# Compare-Script

## SYNOPSIS

Compare PowerShell script versions.

## SYNTAX

```yaml
Compare-Script [[-Name] <String>] [-Gallery <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
```

## DESCRIPTION

Use this command to compare script versions between what is installed against an online repository like the PSGallery. Results will be automatically sorted by script name.

## EXAMPLES

### EXAMPLE 1

```powershell
PS C:\> Compare-Script | Where-object {$_.UpdateNeeded}
Name : DNSSuffix
OnlineVersion : 0.4.1
InstalledVersion : 0.2.0
PublishedDate : 10/22/2018 8:21:46 PM
UpdateNeeded : True
Name : InvokeBuild
OnlineVersion : 5.4.2
InstalledVersion : 3.2.2
PublishedDate : 12/7/2018 1:30:46 AM
UpdateNeeded : True
...
```

List all scripts that could be updated.

### EXAMPLE 2

```powershell
PS C:\> Compare-Script | Where UpdateNeeded |
Out-Gridview -title "Select modules to update" -outputMode multiple |
Foreach-Object { Update-Script $_.name }
