Example: 1

PS > Get-DbatoolsChangeLog
Opens a browser to our online changelog

Optional Parameters

-Local

Attempts to display a local changelog file instead of opening the online version. This functionality has been deprecated and will display a warning message directing users to the online changelog.

Alias
Required False
Pipeline false
Default Value False
-EnableException

By default, when something goes wrong we try to catch it, interpret it and give you a friendly warning message.
This avoids overwhelming you with "sea of red" exceptions, but is inconvenient because it basically disables advanced scripting.
Using this switch turns this "nice by default" feature off and enables you to catch exceptions with your own try/catch.

Required False
Pipeline false
Default Value False
