OneNote is far better since it provides recovery of deleted pages, page history, search and supports offline + there is a mobile app available. And you can’t use search to find Wiki content and Wikis don’t work on mobile Teams. Despite the easy UI the potential risk to loose all data is quite high. There is no data recovery or version history. If you start adding a new Wiki tab you can only create a new Wiki and you don’t have an option to choose from existing or removed ones.īased on these: Wikis are not production ready. Earlier tab removal left hte mht into the library. This is again stands against Teams and SharePoint ways of working: Nothing in Recycle Bin and usually when a tab is removed in Teams the content remains. We get a nice warning about permanent deletion this time as well: OneNote has it’s own 60 day recycle bin for deleted pages in case you didn’t knew. ![]() But Wiki pages are an exception and our Wiki page content is lost forever. Usually when items are deleted in SharePoint they end up in the Recycle bin. The page disappears from the document library folder as well. Wait what… even the restore worked I am still not seeing the deleted parts.įirst reason why OneNote should be used instead: Wiki’s version history does not work! If you have important data in your Wiki pages make note that if somebody erases or modifies them the data is lost. Let’s add something to delete and then remove it. How about version history and deleted page recovery? I can open version history of each page using SharePoint feature. In the folder you can find those files that contain your wiki pages (one file for each page) and images as separate files. It contains a folder for each channel that has wikis. You can find your Wikis as mht files in your team’s SharePoint site in a document library named “Teams Wiki Data”. But that is just like searching for any other Teams content. If you want to have a some kind of searchability in Wiki remember to start a conversation about the section and include those words in the Teams chat. Let’s try out something else like adding a word blogpost in one section and trying to search for it.įirst thing to note: wiki content is not searchable. It is quite painless to start creating content and it is fast.Įach section can have their own conversation thread on channel which makes it easy to share ideas, knowledge and feedback about a specific topic. On the application you can also add new sections or pages. Three dot menus give you the link to the page or section and ability to move page/section up or down and to delete it. If you look at a Wiki tab you can see a canvas that is divided to pages and sections on the left side (navigation) and the right side includes page title and sections to provide content. When you create a new team your General channel get three tabs: Posts, Files and Wiki. Even through this blog post gives you an overview about how Wikis look don’t use them. ![]() What you need to know about them and why you should be using OneNote instead of them.
