Sitecore Powershell Deserialization

Question

I am trying to perform deserialization with Sitecore Powershell Extensions 251. I cant get deserialization to work. Here is what I did : I serialized the item sitecore\content\settings	estItem.

Accepted Answer

`deserialize-item` coomand requires 2 parameters:

- `Path` - path on the hard drive to the directory

- `Root` - the location of the `serialization` directory

and `Recurse` optionally, e.g:

```
deserialize-item -Path "C:\project\data\serialization\master\sitecore\content\settings" -Root "C:\project\data\serialization\" -Recurse
```

Update the beginning of the page in the code above so they match your environment.
