Back in February, I announced our plan to release a fairly full featured Wiki for Visual Studio Team Services (VSTS) and Team Foundation Server (TFS<\/a>).\u00a0 I also announced that we were purchasing the Wiki extension that was then in the marketplace<\/a>.\u00a0 Since then, we’ve left the Wiki extension in the marketplace pretty much alone and worked to bring in the code and get it ready as a first class VSTS feature.\u00a0 Today, we launched the first preview of our new Wiki feature.\u00a0 You can read details in the official Wiki announcement<\/a>.\u00a0 The “old” extension in the marketplace is now deprecated.\u00a0 The announcement I referenced has instructions on migrating from the extension to the new built-in wiki experience.<\/p>\n

The preview is on by default for all accounts.\u00a0 You will see it in all of your projects.\u00a0 The account administrator can disable the preview using the “Preview features” menu under their user profile if they don’t want it.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here’s an example Wiki page someone wrote in our project that introduces the new Wiki feature to people in our team.\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is an initial preview.\u00a0 It’s very functional and we are using it ourselves but there’s lots of work left to go to complete it.\u00a0 Some examples of work in progress include:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A search experience- you can only filter titles right now.\u00a0 We will have a full text search experience.<\/li>\n
  2. Support for MediaWiki format for making importing an existing Wiki easy.<\/li>\n
  3. Rich links to work items and other artifacts.<\/li>\n
  4. And much more…<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    There’s no separate installation or licensing required.\u00a0 It’s super easy to get started.\u00a0 Just navigate to the Wiki hub, click “Create Wiki” and get started creating your first Wiki page.\u00a0 Create lots of pages, arrange them into a table of contents and have fun.\u00a0 Here’s a brief reference on the markdown constructs we support<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/a>\nI’m expecting this new Wiki feature to show up in on-prem TFS in our next major release.\u00a0 Stay tuned for previews to get the first peek at it in TFS.<\/p>\n
