Considerations

  • Visibility: This widget can display a wiki article from a connected channel. However, users only see the article if they have at least Read access to it.
  • Edit article: The widget displays an Edit Article link in the bottom right corner for users who have at least Write access to the source wiki article. Users who select this link are directed to an edit page where they can modify the article. After saving their changes, they can return to the page where the Wiki Article widget is located. 

Who can do this?

  • Enterprise administrators
  • Workplace administrators
  • Space administrators
  • Members of the digital workplace with Edit or Full access
