The Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK 2.0 has been released as a generally available version.

The latest version of Microsoft Graph PowerShell SDK offers a plethora of new and upgraded features. It's advisable to upgrade your current PowerShell SDK module to version 2.0 and make the most of these features.

What has changed?

• When using Graph PowerShell SDK 1.0, it is necessary to manually switch the API profile by utilizing the command Select-MgProfile -Name beta or V1.0 when needing access to either version. With the new upgrade (2.0) Microsoft is depreciating Select-MgProfile to switch between V1.0 and beta. 

It's important to note that Connect-MgGraph will automatically connect to V1.0 by default.

• To utilize beta API commands, it is necessary to install a separate Beta PowerShell Module by running the command "Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Beta -AllowClobber".

• In the same profile, you can access the V1.0 and beta commands. This improves the error handling.

• With MgBeta, every beta command has its unique syntax, and the current syntax will remain unchanged with the command prefix being the "mg" prefix. The user can easily navigate through the commands without any confusion.

# For Microsoft Graph v1.0

Install-Module Microsoft.Graph -AllowClobber

# For Microsoft Graph beta

Install-Module Microsoft.Graph.Beta -AllowClobber

Install Beta module-

With the latest update, it's now possible to use both v1.0 and beta commands in a single script without the hassle of reloading the entire module.
