 # What's new
 
+#### 12/22/2016
+- Added `-Now` switch. This short cuts the process, automatically creating a temp file and enables the `-Show`, `-AutoFilter`, `-AutoSize` switches.
+
+```powershell
+Get-Process | Select Company, Handles | Export-Excel -Now
+```
+
+- Added ScriptBlocks for coloring cells. Check out
+
+```powershell
+Get-Process |
+    Select-Object Company,Handles,PM, NPM|

 [Fixed](https://github.com/dfinke/ImportExcel/pull/126) Powershell 3.0 compatibility. Thanks to [headsphere](https://github.com/headsphere). He used `$obj.PSObject.Methods[$target]` snytax to make it backward compatible. PS v4.0 and later allow `$obj.$target`.
