Setting up a wiki same as Confluence
Missing features are:
- page navigation
- page hierarchy
- dispaly page tree inside a page
- among many others...
Please help!
GianGian The wiki features that came with earlier versions of SharePoint were never very good and were a long way behind professional wiki products like Confluence, Wikidot, Wikimedia etc. Other than a very labour-intensive manual build using quick links buttons (which have to be created on each page) and perhaps a manual navigation approach using perhaps a list web part, there is really nothing you can do to replicate in SharePoint Online the features of Confluence.

Intranet, SharePoint and Power Platform Manager (and classic 1967 Morris Traveller driver)Every company that I've worked for over the last few decades that has tried to migrate to SharePoint has met with complete failure. SharePoint may have its place, but it is NOT a wiki or even friendly enough to hack in to look like a wiki without significant effort. Many companies think they will save money going to a single platform, but unfortunately it will take so much extra work that it will end up costing more in man hours. The default use of document libraries is just like going back in time a couple of decades and using a file share. Being able to simply add a new page, paste or type in text and save is what makes wikis so much easier and more productive.
