Export a Wiki to a OneNote notebook instructions don't work

Export a Wiki to a OneNote notebook says,

Export a Wiki to OneNote - In Teams, go to the standard channel whose Wiki you want to export. - On the wiki banner, select Get details. Select Export to Notes, and then select Finish.

What is the wiki banner?

Where do you find Get details?

Where do you Select Export to Notes?

I have access to Teams that have had Wiki pages for ages and I have added new Wiki pages to my test team, created today. "Get details", and, "Select Export to Notes", don't appear anywhere

Any ideas?

Hello Guy,

The explanation why some are not seeing any of that which Microsoft is suggesting is simply because it is not available for everyone just YET. They recently started rolling this out, and it won't be available for everyone everywhere at the same time!

To be fair, the instructions page does mention "Coming soon".

This is what the "banner" will look like:

So, it will be a banner below the menu bar with a tannish background color and a button on the righthand side reading "Get details".

And here's a screenshot of what the export tool will look like, with the "Export to Notes" button:

As depicted in these two steps in Microsoft's instructions:

  1. In Teams, go to the standard channel whose Wiki you want to export.
  2. On thewikibanner, selectGet details*. SelectExport to Notes, and then selectFinish.*

Also, the message in the Message Center (of the Microsoft 365 Admin Center) contains this subtle hint at the end:

"We urge users to export their channel wikis to OneNote once it is available."

Hope this helps.

    Hi Janbaz

    Thank you for your reply

    1. Yes, we are using the latest version of Teams
    2. Yes, I have the appropriate authorisations. I happen to be an Administrator, but I really should only need to be a Team Owner to follow these instructions
    3. Yes, OneNote is enabled. I can create both new Wiki and new OneNotes in the General channel of a new Team
    4. Isn't the whole point of Wiki that it isn't formatted? Any which way, creating a new Wiki with no formatting, there still is no, "Wiki banner", no, "Get details", and no, "Export to Notes"

    So I am still completely stumped!

    That is what we tried yesterday. It doesn't make any difference.

    Can you show me a screen shot of where I should be looking for the things Microsoft tell me I need to do

    Export a Wiki to a OneNote notebook says,

    Export a Wiki to OneNote - In Teams, go to the standard channel whose Wiki you want to export. - On the wiki banner, select Get details. Select Export to Notes, and then select Finish.

    What is the wiki banner?

    Where do you find Get details?

    Where do you Select Export to Notes?

    In other words, am I looking in the right place and not seeing what I should see or am I looking in the wrong place?

    I discovered this as a way to download content from Wiki. This can be a workaround for Private Channels:

    Download content from a Wiki in a Teams Private Channel:

    • Open the Teams site
    • Click on the private channel (private channels have their own SharePoint site)
    • Click on the ellipsis top-right
    • Open in SharePoint
    • Click on Site contents in the left panel
    • The choose Teams Wiki Data in the first column
    • Click on the name of the private channel to open the folder
    • Click next to one of the Wiki pages to place a tick in the circle
    • Click on the down arrow next to Word Open on the top ribbon
    • Select Open in app
    • Content will be copied to a Word file and the Word file will open on screen
    • Highlight the text and copy
    • Go back to the Teams site
    • Add a OneNote on a tab in the private channel
    • Paste the content from the Word doc into the OneNote

    Hi Alvaro,

    The issue is not exporting and importing notebooks. It is about exporting Teams Wiki notes in to Teams Notebooks. Which Microsoft say is possible but their instructions do not match my screen.

    Thank you for your help
