    _J-K_ 

    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.

Is that (in english version) the "tab" (german: "Registerkarte")?...

und this the "app"?

While in Teams, the Wiki App will not be listed when you select + then choose from a list of Apps.

    Thanks but sorry. Many of us still dont get it:
    You say that the Wiki as a tab does not appear automaticly pressing +. Alright. In April?
    Do you say further: That it will be still possible to just search for the app Wiki? Till Summer? But thats still the tab!?!?

    Can you please tell us in other words whats happens in summer using the words "App" and "tab"? Is there any difference beside autmatic appearence?
    You dont mean this, right?

    Thanks and sorry. Prob its simple
    Regards from GER

      The Wiki App is the Icon which is used to add a Wiki Tab to MS Teams.

      The clickable Wiki Tab located at the top of the MS Team Channel Ribbon contains many Wiki Pages of your content.

       


      Phase 1: Starting in April through Dec 31, 
      1) Users can not create any new Wiki Tab/Pages which uses the Wiki App icon to add the tab/pages. The Wiki app icon is still listed in the app list but with limited functionality.
      2) A banner to export content to OneNote will appear in Teams Channel. Once the Wiki Page is converted to OneNote, the Wiki Tab/Pages becomes readonly.


      Phase 2: In the summer,
      1) MS will no longer support Wiki App and Wiki Tab/Pages. If something goes wrong, you can not call MS to fix it. My thoughts are start exporting sooner than later in case, you need help.

      2) Everything I mentioned in Phase 1 applies.

      Phase 3: Jan 2024.

      1) The Wiki App icon and Wiki Tab/Pages will be LOCKED or HIDDEN from Team Channel ribbon.

      2) Users can not read/write/export the content in the Wiki Tab/Pages from MS Teams. You can only download content from SharePoint. 

      3) The Wiki App icon will not be listed in the app list.  

      I hope this helps.

        Thx Teresa_Cyrus 
        esp. the detail about the support.
        I think this sentence in original Phase 2 MS-description is not proper at least confusing: "users will be easily able access (read/write) content in Wiki app."
        But you helped here.
        I will multiplicate that to all public broadcasters admins in GER.
        Cheers
