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 again Guy, I am so sorry that you are still having this issue, You can attempt the following to troubleshoot the problem:

    1. If you created your Wiki using Microsoft Teams:

    a. Launch the Teams Wiki.

    b. Select the ellipsis (...) in the Wiki's upper right corner.

    d. From the menu, select "Export to OneNote."

    d. Click "Export" after selecting the OneNote notebook where you wish to export the Wiki.

    A banner image or graphic is shown at the top of a wiki page and is also referred to as the wiki header. Typically, it serves as a means of branding the wiki, identifying it, or displaying significant data pertinent to its subject. To aid users in navigating the wiki, the wiki banner may also contain a logo, a title, a motto, or a navigation bar. Some wikis let users add their own images or change the banner to modify the wiki's look.

    in most cases clearing the cache, could resolve the issue.

    1. Sign out on Teams > Quit Microsoft Teams by right-clicking the icon and selecting Quit.

    4. Delete the contents of the entire folder.
