Obviously it's the wrong tool for a Teams Wiki for 1000 reasons, but this one may be the dumbest one yet.
Can people edit this?? It looks like anyone can edit this at anytime. Could it be like Forms where (for no reason whatsoever) it's possible to share something in EDIT mode? That obviously should not be possible but MS has no QA phase so bonkers stuff like that is the norm. Clearly I've been burned by MS's awful UI and design before, but's it's just so difficult to tell what's going on... It really looks editable...
Seriously, should I stop using OneNote and put my content in an HTML page so I can know who has edit privileges?
Hi @41844108
If I create a Wiki page in OneNote can anyone edit it?
According to following image from link "Write content for your Wiki tab". Different type of channels, there are differences in members that can access the Wiki tab.
For more, you may refer to the link "Collaborate with others on a page".
First, Wiki pages are dead. I just spent 6 months writing documentation and now I need to manually copy it to OneNote because MS didn’t make their wiki parsing tool work very well.
Second, you answered about basic viewing permissions — that’s not the question, I’m asking how do I know if Im sharing something in EDIT mode? MS has terrible UI and — believe it or not, it’s actually possible to share something in edit mode. I have no idea how to share something in edit mode vs normal sharing. The history of UX and any basic understanding of how productivity apps works suggests it should not be possible to share something that is an open WYSIWYG editor.
I have no idea how to tell if this is in edit mode. When I look at it it looks like edit. I want to know how to share onenote in non-edit mode.
wiki pages just work, and onenote is like a Russian doll set, doesn’t update or sync properly and generally had awful UX so I do not want to use it, but MS decided to suddenly get rid of the simple and easy Wiki tool, so that’s why I have to stop working and rebuild documentation unnecessarily. I’m just trying not to share open wysiwyg editors, that’s what I need help with.
