How to copy Teams Wiki Pages - Answered
Sorry if this is not the correct way / place to post. Hopefully my weekends spent figuring this out can save someone out there a bit of pain. There's most likely an easier way to do this and it could be automated with PowerAutomate, but want to get this out sooner than later. Let's cut to the point, there currently is not a UI way within MS Teams to copy Wiki content from anywhere to anywhere. This looks to be on the MS backlog for a while now, but there is a surprisingly simple answer. What you will need: MS Teams with a Wiki you want to move. SharePoint Designer (usually 2013 sp1) Time Step 1. Open your team and head to the SharePoint site connected to the team Step 2. Copy the URL and open the connected site in SharePoint Designer Step 3. Open "All Files" and select "Lists" Step 4. Select the list containing "_wiki" at the end and click the "Preview in Browser" Step 5. Create a custom view of the Wiki list with all Wiki columns included Step 6. Do steps 1-5 on the target location you are looking to move the Wiki content to Step 7. Edit both locations in grid view. Copy all of the Page & Section titled content you want to copy. (My screen shot doesn't include wikiUser, but this should be copied also) Step 8. "Add new item" in the target list, then paste the data. Step 9. - KEY STEP You need to align the data. Please refer to screenshot below. The SharePoint ID that is assigned is used to match up the pages and sections. wikiPageId = SharePoint ID for Page wikiOrder = SharePoint ID for Sections you want the pages to fall under wikiCanvisId = The wiki number in order of wikis created There will also be wikiOrder for the main wiki order at the top of the list. You don't need to modify this since Teams will take care of the rest. Step 10. Refresh the wiki in Teams and review. If it's not displaying, run through the steps again and make sure no one is trying to update the wiki while you are copying. Hope this helps!
How do I create a Sharepoint glossary without using an app?
Hello everyone, Me again! I'm wondering if you can give me some advice about to create a glossary in SharePoint. The topic my SharePoint is about is quite complicated and I want an easily searchable glossary of terms. Unfortunately our IT department won't let me download the free app that I've seen suggested without applying for them to look at it, test it etc. This process is likely to take several months. Because of the length of time and with no guarantee of being able to have it at the end of it, I really need to create the glossary from scratch. Ideally I'm looking for a navigation bar with the letters of the alphabet and then being able to click on the letter to bring up all terms starting with that letter. Does anyone know a simple way of doing this? Thanks in advance as always, Amber
Setting up a wiki same as Confluence
Good afternoon, I'm trying to re-create all of our tech documents in sharepoint so we can centralise to office 365. I've tried many different way but I think the only way maybe a news style site, but then I have the issue of navigation so have looked into metadata navigation. But none of this seem to do something confluence makes so easy. What would you recommend? Many Thanks Mark
Possible bug with wikis in private channels
When adding a wiki to a private channel members of the channel can't see the wiki. Instead they get the following error message: "It looks like your sharepoint doesn't allow adding Wiki tabs. ...." If the link is opened in share point by the creator and shared then when other members go to that link they are told they don't have permission and can request it. Once requested and granted the wiki is viewable in teams. Anyone else had this?How to Find Teams Channels With a Wiki Tab
Microsoft plans to replace the Teams wiki with OneNote and will release a migration app to move content from wiki to OneNote. That’s great, but you need to know what channels include the wiki tab before you can decide what material should be migrated. This article explains how to use PowerShell to create a report of Teams channel tabs for wikis. https://office365itpros.com/2023/01/24/teams-wiki-report/ }
Copying images to Wiki from Files.
I've uploaded several image folders to a team's General channel Files. Now, I want to add some of the images into the team's General channel wiki. If I choose to "Insert Image" and browse Teams, I can get a list of files with. . . no options to view the images!? From the Files tab, I've tried copy, expecting to go into the wiki and paste, but no. I've gone to Files and gotten a link. But when I paste it into the wiki, it doesn't show the image, it just shows the link. I've even opened Sharepoint, and found an option to copy the Team wiki's channel storage. . . which I cannot find in the Teams App. Tried dragging the image from Sharepoint to the Teams app. . . was excited to see the "+" icon that mean a program is ready to receive my file. . . doesn't do anything. Why is this so hard to do? It really shouldn't be.Teams Meeting Notes missing from Meetings detail screen
I am working out an issue for user regarding the meeting notes sections in Teams. Specifically, when they view the meeting details from their team's personal calendar - the Meeting Notes section is missing (example from my calendar): The users: Version of teams: 1.5.00.28567 Meeting type: Private meeting on personal calendar The user can access the meeting notes by opening the chat for the meeting. The Meeting notes tab is visible, and they can access the content. I had the user create a meeting as well as create the meeting notes for that meeting, but they still don't have the associated meeting notes tab when looking at the meeting details page in teams. They do have the pencil and paper icon shown below the date, but when they click it, nothing happens. This issue is also not isolated to one meeting - it appears to be an issue on all their recent meetings. We tried on another computer as well as in the browser - we can't seem to get the Meeting Notes tab to appear on the meetings details page. The only way we can open the notes is by searching for the chat associated with the meeting. The meeting notes tab is visible there and we can open the notes with no issue. We have already tried clearing the Teams cache, reinstalled Teams as well, and repaired Office. Additionally, I verified the "Microsoft Teams Data" folder and wiki folder existed in the users OneDrive and that all looks good. There is no issue opening the content, just a missing meeting notes tab. To me, it seems like the issue is either with the Wiki app or something on the Account / policy level. Since the problem follows them to the browser and to different computers. I'm not sure what setting would control if notes show up or not in the meeting details. I May need to submit an MS ticket but wanted to check here first 🙂
Sharepoint best practice Wiki Location and History
hello, being new to Sharepoint I am looking for advice on... 1. Where to best create a wiki: as Sharepoint pages or via the wiki app (e.g. integrated in Teams) 2. ...especially with regards to a version history for wiki content (*not* the file/document version history) as found in other wiki software? (only found this discussion which was not quite what I was looking for.) Thanks for any hints
