## DESCRIPTION

Retrieves and displays release notes for module information objects produced by Get-PackageUpdateInfo or Import-PackageUpdateInfo, or for module objects returned by Get-Module.

PS C:\> Get-Module PackageUpdateInfo | Show-PackageUpdateReleaseNote
```

Retrieves release notes for the PackageUpdateInfo module from the current PowerShell session.

### EXAMPLE 3

```powershell
PS C:\> Get-PackageUpdateInfo -Name PackageUpdateInfo | Show-PackageUpdateReleaseNote
```

Displays the release notes for a specific module using the output from Get-PackageUpdateInfo.

### EXAMPLE 4

```powershell
