Now in public preview: Future of wiki and Notes in Teams
Description
We are announcing that Wiki's will be retired from Teams starting January 2024. We are offering note taking capabilities within Teams channels using the included OneNote notebook provid...
Microsoft please note there is not a single positive comment here. I have a team with 20 channels and each channel is using a single wiki page with up to 100 sections. Since sections all get mashed together into the single page (essentially ignored) this will all have to be done manually. That is 2000 copy pastes. And that is only the team that I know about. Once in OneNote the pages don't auto number like they did in wiki and I have to agree that OneNote is much slower. Please consider keeping or better rebuilding the wiki functionality. It would be great if wiki allowed for searching, version control and had a few more wiki functions. Moving to OneNote has me strongly considering other products for a wiki. Once I move the wiki to another product the whole, we need to use teams argument comes into play. This will push more users to other products including other platforms like slack with a separate integrated wiki.
- I have a solution to keep your team's content organized. You need to first rename each channel, then duplicate each channel manually then delete the old channels, this allow you the opportunity to add the tabs one at a time in the correct order since it's impossible to edit the order of these. By rebuilding all aspects of your team and deleting the old channels only then can you retain the organization of your team. YOU MUST CHOOSE IF ORGANIZATION - or - EXISTING COMMENTS are more important... MS simply does not allow you to retain the organization of the tabs and port the content from Wiki to OneNote with your current team. Obviously they did not design this or consider the ramifications of this dumb decision.
