Microsoft Teams News: Wiki Page Retiring in January 2024 & There Are Things You Must Do
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. 
* 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.
Sorry to hear that your clients are having trouble.
I reviewed both my desktop and outline MS Teams versions and received the banner with Get Details. However, I am an Early Access (Public Preview) User.
Try the following:
- Check if the issue occurs differently between EA and Standard Users.
- Have the user sign out of MS Teams and log back in again.
- Check for Updates by clicking on the more options left of the Profile, select About, and choose Check for Updates
- Give it a few days if the above suggestions don't work.
If you get nervous, check out the video to download content from SharePoint. Initially, this method served as a backup because it is DOUBLE WORK for peace of mind. The users must export the Wiki Pages to OneNote when the Get Details button becomes available. So give it a few days to see if the Get Details appear.Please keep us up to date which will help others with the same issue.
