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.

Hi KathyROI
A lot of folks are anxious to get started with converting to OneNote. I checked the message center, MS has not posted any updates since Mar 17th. I wonder if we will see the banner by the second week of April.
Obviously, I have not tested with the actual exporting tool. However, I suspect the links will carry over with a problem. As soon as the exporting tool is available - trust and believe - I will complete a thorough test again. 😁
Thank you for your inquiry about the links. It prompted me to test the other attributes on the Wiki Page. Here are my learnings with exporting Wiki Pages from SharePoint to a zip file and then opening with MS Word.
On Teams Wiki Page, I created:
- internal links within & outside of a channel
- MS Word retained the links
- external links
- MS Word retained the links
- Used the following attributes: strikethrough, yellow highlighter, red and bold font, quote and inserted a table.
- MS Word did not keep the yellow highlighter or the color font; everything else was fine.
I encourage you to watch the Download from SharePoint video. I share my concerns about the images. The link is in the original post above.

Teresa_Cyrus - for the record, and I'm hoping this has been said... I do not use Wiki for "notes," and Teams' OneNote functionality is clunky and cumbersome. I use the Wiki for FAQs. Is there a comparable product that is as easy to use with Teams? Thank you!
- I agree. I don't see how OneNote is a viable alternative for a wiki used as FAQs and releasenotes. Wiki is so much cleaner.
Perfect Wiki appears to be the best alternative to Teams Wiki and OneNote. I have not used this application. However, @simoyrose shared their experience and is happy with the application. See this post.
If you use this app, please add your experience in this thread which will help others.
