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.

    I've found that I was able to export one wiki to OneNote, but not another. In the first case, it looked just as the instructions said it would and worked great. In the second, the option to export is simply not there. Ideas? I am an owner of both channels. The only difference I see is that the second channel is private (lock icon), but I'm an owner. May not be relevant. I don't know.

    Since copy/paste function in the Wiki is awful, how else can I preserve this information?

    Jenny,

    I seem to remember in one of the pages or discussion that the Private channel's did not get the option to move the Wiki to notes. So I dont think waiting for it to show at some point is likely going to work. The only way I have found and it is almost as messy as going directly to one-note is copy and paste to Word. Also if the infromation is static and can be captured appropriately - a screen grab and then a drop into Notes was another option (BTW some images wont transfer from Wiki to Notes with the provided tool as well).

    Not much help but I thought I would share my experience.
