 ## Summary
 
-This sample will export the required site pages information to CSV.
+This PowerShell script uses the PnP PowerShell module to connect to a SharePoint Online site and extract metadata from the Site Pages library. It collects key information for each page—such as titles, URLs, authorship, creation and modification dates, layout type, and banner image details—and exports the results to a timestamped CSV file for reporting and analysis purposes.
+
+## Why It Matters / Real-World Scenarios
+
+Organizations often lack visibility into the volume, ownership, and status of modern SharePoint pages. This script enables administrators and site owners to:
+- Perform content audits prior to migrations, restructures, or clean-up initiatives
+- Identify outdated, unused, or orphaned pages
+- Support governance and compliance reviews by providing page ownership and modification history
+- Create an inventory of pages for site redesigns or information architecture planning
+
+## Benefits of the Reported Data
+
+- Improved Governance: Clear visibility into who created and last modified each page
+- Operational Insight: Understand page usage patterns and content lifecycle
+- Risk Reduction: Identify pages with missing ownership or stale content
+- Decision Support: Enables data-driven decisions for site cleanup, archiving, or redesign
+- Audit Readiness: Produces a structured, exportable record of SharePoint page metadata
 
 ## Implementation
 
 - Open Windows PowerShell ISE
 - Create a new file
 - Write a script as below,
 - First, we will connect to the site from which site we want to get Site Pages library details.
-    - Then we will get Site Pages details and export it to CSV.
+- Then we will get Site Pages details and export it to CSV.

+## Output
+
+- **Format**: CSV
+- **Location**: Configurable output directory
+- **File Naming**: Timestamped (prevents overwriting previous reports)
