Anyone who is interested can contribute to the articles. When you contribute, your work goes into the content set after it's been reviewed and merged. It's then published to Microsoft Learn, and you're listed as a contributor at: https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/office-docs-powershell/graphs/contributors.

Contributors who make infrequent or small updates can edit the file directly on GitHub.com without installing any software. This article shows you how. This two-minute video also covers how to contribute.

1. Verify that you're signed in to GitHub.com with your GitHub account.

2. On learn.microsoft.com, find the article that you want to update.

3. Above the title of the article, select Edit this document.

   

4. The corresponding article file opens on GitHub. Select Edit this file.

   

5. The article file opens in a line-numbered editor page where you can make updates.

   Articles on learn.microsoft.com are formatted using the Markdown language. For help on using Markdown, see Mastering Markdown.

   [!TIP] Cmdlet reference articles follow a very strict schema with limited formatting options, because the articles are also converted and used for help at the command line (Get-Help <CmdletName). Use existing content as a guide. For more information, see platyPS Schema.

   Select Preview to view your changes as you go. Select Edit to go back to making updates.

   When you're finished making changes, select the green Commit changes button.

   

6. In the Propose changes dialog that opens, review and/or enter the following values:

   • Commit message: This value is required. You can accept the default value ("Update <filename>") or you can change it.
   • Extended description: This value is optional. For example:
     • An explanation of the changes.
     • @ include the GitHub alias of someone to review and merge your changes.

   When you're finished on the Propose changes dialog, select the green Propose changes button.

   

7. On the Comparing changes page that opens, select the green Create pull request button.

   

8. On the Open a pull request page that opens, review the title and comments, and then select the green Create pull request button.

   

9. That's it. There's nothing more for you to do.

   The article owner (identified in metadata) is notified about the changes to the article. Eventually, the article owner or another party will review, possibly edit, and approve your changes. After your pull request is merged, the article is updated on learn.microsoft.com.
