It has been exactly 2 months since Wiki went live on VSTS. Wiki is also available in TFS 2018 RC1<\/a> now. We\u00a0have received tons of great feedback and we also learnt a lot from usage patterns. I wanted to\u00a0talk about\u00a0some of our learnings and the improvements in Wiki.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If you are just starting with Wiki, then you can read my first blog on Wiki announcement<\/a> or view this video talking about the basic features of Wiki.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/devblogs.microsoft.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2019\/02\/vstswiki_mid.mp4<\/a><\/video><\/div><\/p>\n

You can also watch the video on Channel nine.<\/a><\/p>\n

Support HTML Tags<\/h2>\n

A big use case for Wiki was documenting training content to help onboard new users to the organization. Training content requires embedding training videos. Also, we saw a lot of our users having the need to create rich\u00a0Wiki pages containing complex tables and rich text. In order to support these use cases wiki now supports HTML Tags<\/a>\u00a0that allows rich text editing, complex tables, embedded videos and many other capabilities.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am planning to blog about few\u00a0cool wiki pages created in VSTS Wiki. You can email me screenshots of your Wiki pages at vc_feedback@microsoft.com and I will publish few selected ones in my next blog post.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Revert a revision<\/span><\/h2>\n

Accidental updates in documentation always happen and we want to a quick fix to undo changes. Now you can just click on Revert<\/strong>\u00a0on the revision details page to undo any updates to a Wiki page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Create wiki page from a broken link<\/span><\/h2>\n

It is interesting what insights from product usage show. We observed that almost 10% page creation was resulting in “page not found” errors. That was unusually high and on further investigation we found that during documentation, users prefer to create a dummy link for a page. Then they click on the link to create a new page. Initially we used to show an error if you were to click on a broken link. We have improved this experience to allow you to create a page if you create a dummy link. Needless to say the error count is down to zero ever since.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Support for anchor links<\/span><\/h2>\n

For long Wiki pages, there is a need to add a table of content that\u00a0gives an overview of the sections within a page. Now you can create anchor links <\/a>within a Wiki page that would constitute table of content for a page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Did you know?<\/h2>\n

You can simply click and drag wiki pages to create links.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

You can copy paste images from clipboard to your wiki page.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n
