&lt;p&gt;Every Sitecore developer knows the feeling. You need to rename a field across 200 templates, or re-publish a subtree of 3,000 items, or audit every layout definition in the content tree. You could write a standalone console app, wire up configuration, build and deploy it, run it once, and throw it away. Or you could open the PowerShell ISE and type five lines.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sitecore PowerShell Extensions exists because repetitive, tedious content operations should not require custom .NET projects. What started as a weekend experiment has grown into something the community now treats as essential infrastructure - a module that &lt;a href="https://doc.sitecore.com/xp/en/developers/sxa/latest/sitecore-experience-accelerator/the-sxa-script-library.html"&gt;ships with Sitecore Experience Accelerator&lt;/a&gt;, gets referenced in &lt;a href="https://doc.sitecore.com/sai/en/developers/sitecoreai/the-sitecore-powershell-extensions-script-library.html"&gt;official Sitecore documentation&lt;/a&gt;, and has been &lt;a href="https://www.powershellgallery.com/packages/SPE"&gt;downloaded over 174,000 times&lt;/a&gt; from the PowerShell Gallery alone.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Contact</title><link>https://sitecorepowershell.com/contact/</link><pubDate>Tue, 22 Nov 2016 12:43:42 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sitecorepowershell.com/contact/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;This is a contact page with some basic contact information.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Sitecore PowerShell Extensions 8.0 - Wayward Son</title><link>https://sitecorepowershell.com/2026/03/03/sitecore-powershell-extensions-8-0-wayward-son/</link><pubDate>Tue, 03 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sitecorepowershell.com/2026/03/03/sitecore-powershell-extensions-8-0-wayward-son/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;SPE 8.0 &amp;ldquo;Wayward Son&amp;rdquo; is here and it is a big one. This release packs 7 new features, 30 improvements, and 30 bug fixes - all shaped by the community that makes SPE what it is.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I know this announcement is long overdue. The release itself shipped a while back, but the blog you are reading this on has just been reborn. After years on WordPress, the SPE blog now lives on GitHub Pages as a static Hugo site - faster, cheaper, and fully open. It felt right to celebrate that re-launch by finally giving 8.0 the proper write-up it deserves.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Showing external content with your Sitecore PowerShell scripts</title><link>https://sitecorepowershell.com/2017/01/23/showing-external-content-with-your-sitecore-powershell-scripts/</link><pubDate>Mon, 23 Jan 2017 11:49:27 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sitecorepowershell.com/2017/01/23/showing-external-content-with-your-sitecore-powershell-scripts/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Sitecore PowerShell Extensions have proven time and again as a great tool for manipulating and exposing Sitecore content, but that about if you need to show your authors something that is external to your Sitecore instance?
This blog shows a number of techniques to show pages and embedded content in various ways as part of your script execution.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="showing-external-content-in-anew-tab"&gt;Showing external content in a new tab&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The most obvious way is to show your author an external page as a new tab in the browser. This can be achieved by executing a JavaScript expression that will become available in SPE 4.4+&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Session state elevation</title><link>https://sitecorepowershell.com/session-state-elevation/</link><pubDate>Sat, 03 Dec 2016 10:49:55 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://sitecorepowershell.com/session-state-elevation/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;Sitecore PowerShell Extensions (SPE) is a very sharp tool that allows you to execute arbitrary code within your Sitecore instance and manipulate large amounts of content, all while providing a rich user interfaces for it. SPE frees you from the burden of having to restart the environment when deploying the code.
The great capabilities come with some risks you might not immediately realize:&lt;/p&gt;
