Microsoft Teams has become a workplace staple for millions of people for the past few years, with businesses, schools, and universities using it to communicate and access files remotely. Over time, Microsoft have introduced new features to Teams. But as new features are launched, others must be retired.
The next feature of Teams to be retired will be Wikis – notebooks that are added to Teams channels to store information. While wikis may not be the most commonly used function in Teams, some users may store valuable information in there that cannot be restored once wikis are officially retired.
Once wikis retire, users will not be able to create new wikis. However, there is a way to migrate wikis to OneNote notebook while they’re still available. Currently, wiki data is stored in a library called “Teams Wiki Data”. There hasn’t been any news on what will happen to this library, so its best to assume this content will become read-only at best. It’s also worth noting that the “Meeting Notes” option during Teams meetings currently create a wiki, so that is due to change too.
