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 Alvaro,

    Exactly right!! That is exactly my position. We already have Wiki in use. Wiki is going. I am trying to help all my Teams migrate their Wiki pages into OneNote. Microsoft say this is possible. But the process they describe does not match what happens in our Teams

    Hi Guy,

    Thank you for the update. Teams is phasing out Wiki support so personally, I would not recommend this method. You can continue to access and edit existing Wikis, but you can't create new Wikis in Teams channels. Coming soon, customers who have OneNote enabled in Teams and Microsoft 365 can export their Wiki content to OneNote. This is the article that I shared in my previous response.

    Heh...I just started with my fresh Wiki and wondered how I can export it from there if needed. Glad I didn't spend more time building it as I just found Wiki on Teams will be retired mid Feb.
