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 Patty,

    My experience is that it creates a new OneNote.

    Hello! Does exporting the wiki to OneNote create a brand new OneNote notebook for that channel or does it put the wiki pages into the existing OneNote notebook for the channel? I can't find an answer to this and it will make an impact if it uses the existing OneNote notebook (which is organized in a completely different manner). Thanks!

    Hi everyone

    I've found a Microsoft timeline:

    Phase 1: Early March 2023 - users unable to create new Wiki Pages; can access & edit existing Wiki pages; can start exporting to OneNote. Once exported, Wiki will become read-only

    Phase 2: June 2023 - Microsoft will no longer support the Wiki page, but you can still export to OneNote.

    Phase 3: January 2024 - Wiki page inaccessible in Teams & unable to export within Teams.

    Content in SharePoint will remain, according to your company's retention policy.

    Export Wiki to OneNote: My experience

    • I got the notification banner this morning - yay! :-)
    • The Wizard was very easy to use
    • It creates a OneNote for you (there was speculation as to whether you had to add a OneNote on a tab before the export.) I can confirm that the Wizard adds the OneNote on a tab for you during the export process
    • Note: it does not export graphics from Wiki to OneNote
    • It does export tables
    • It does export hyperlinks
    • Wiki becomes read-only after the export, but I was able to click into the contents of my table in the (old) Wiki

    I'm still not seeing any popup or banner (Europe), not even after editing an existing Wiki page.

    I am trying the new Teams 2.0 client for some weeks now and just found out that all Wiki tabs are gone in the new client. For now it's not even possible to add more tabs or apps on the top of a channel.

    I'm hoping that Microsoft don't force users to the new client before the Wiki migration is available and finished...
