    REVISED: Regarding the Wiki Libraries in SharePoint, the wiki pages will remain on SharePoint. However, the Wiki Page and App are not available in January 2024. 

    I created a video on exporting the Wiki libraries content to a zip file and opening the pages into a Word file as a BACKUP. It will be available later this week. I will update this post with the link when it is available.

     

    Stay tuned.

    Thank you so much for this! Here is the one thing I can't figure out...any help would be greatly appreciated.

    • My problem is that the yellow banner to export to OneNote only appears when I am using Public Preview (EA). We don't allow public preview for most of our users so they cannot perform the export operation
    • Also, I recall hearing that as it stands right now, users shouldn't be able to create NEW wiki tabs. However, even if I'm on public preview, I can STILL create new wiki tabs.
      • Yes, I get the warning but I can still create new wiki tabs in the standard version of Teams
    • I am version 1.6.00.8767

      Sorry for the delay. It was Easter weekend in the USA.  

       

      You have a valid question.  Thank you for sharing. I am an independent advisor, so here is my "logical" response I don't have any details from Microsoft.

       

      * MS allows the EA users to use the products first to ensure it works correctly before rolling out to the remaining users. 

      * I recommend you inform your organization of this change to prevent Wiki Page creations.

      * If you are an IT Admin and plan to convert the sites yourself, respectively, start converting.  :smile:
      * Or give the site owners temporary EA access so they can begin converting.

      Here are my additional thoughts, MS indicated that Wiki will be unsupported starting in June.  Will they extend that date for GA users since the exporting tool is not available yet?

       

      I hope this helps.

        Teresa_Cyrus My users are starting to see this and the "Get Details" button isn't available so my users have no idea how to save their wikis. This is really bad.

      Hi Michael,
      same here even in Europe in (I guess) most of the regular tenants; with only admin access to PP.
      I think we need to wait till the newer version than that from March 29th comes to us. I think that the PP ist not the best reference and in normal mode the app button will disappear next to the convertion...as u expect correctly.
      Happy to hear from around the world in which version or which context next to PP (EA) the phase 1 really did start.
      Wondering why MC496248 is not updated somehow.

      Regards from GER
