PowerWiki — a modern wiki for Azure DevOps

The wiki you already have, the experience it deserves. PowerWiki adds a Power Wiki hub next to the built-in Azure DevOps Wiki and reads and writes the same wiki Git repositories. No migration, no proprietary formats, no lock-in — turn it off tomorrow and your wiki is untouched.

Why teams switch

🧜 Today's Mermaid, today's Markdown. Mermaid v11 (architecture, kanban, sankey, xy-chart, mindmap, timeline and more), GitHub-style callouts, KaTeX math, syntax-highlighted code — instead of the frozen renderers bundled with Azure DevOps.
📤 Export to Word and PDF. Turn one page — or an ordered set of pages — into a real .docx with native Word heading styles and equations, or a print-perfect PDF. Diagrams, query tables, and images included.
🕑 Never lose the thread. Page history with side-by-side diffs and one-click restore, follow pages for change notifications, and safe renames that fix inbound links for you.
🧩 Azure Boards, live on the page. #1234 becomes a rich work item badge; ::: query-table <id> ::: embeds live query results — and both stay readable as plain text in the built-in wiki.
✍️ An editor you'll actually enjoy. Monaco (the VS Code editor) with a / command palette, keyboard shortcuts, page-link and attachment pickers, autosaved drafts, and a WYSIWYG mode with in-context table editing.

Reading, upgraded

Current CommonMark + GFM pipeline, [[_TOC_]] and [[_TOSP_]] support, and native-feeling deep links.
Mermaid v11 with automatic light/dark theming, a fit-to-screen pan/zoom viewer, and SVG download. Works with ```mermaid fences and ::: mermaid blocks alike.
LaTeX math with KaTeX ( $inline$ and $$display$$).
Callouts (> [!NOTE], [!TIP], [!WARNING]…), heading permalinks that copy a shareable Azure DevOps link, click-to-zoom images, and copy buttons on code blocks.
Per-page byline (last editor and time, straight from Git history) and page comments.

Writing, without friction

Monaco Markdown editor with live split preview, word wrap, and Azure DevOps theming.
Type / for anything: headings, tables, code blocks, every Mermaid diagram type, work-item references, query tables, links.
Ctrl+B / Ctrl+I / Ctrl+K, a searchable page-link picker, and an attachment picker for files you've already uploaded.
Paste or drop images into any editor — they upload to .attachments and the reference is inserted for you.
Rich text mode with a floating table toolbar: insert, delete, and reorder rows and columns right at the table.
Never lose work: unsaved-changes protection on refresh/close and local draft autosave with one-click recovery.

History and stewardship

Page history from Git: browse revisions, compare side by side (changes per revision or against current), and restore any version through the normal save path.
Follow pages to get Azure DevOps notifications when they change — the same subscriptions the built-in wiki uses.
Attachment manager: browse everything in .attachments with previews and copy Markdown references in a click.
Safe renames: when you move or rename a page, PowerWiki finds every inbound link, shows you the affected pages, and updates them on confirm.

Export that looks like you spent all day on it

Word (.docx): Markdown headings become real Word heading styles (navigation pane ready), equations become native editable Word math, Mermaid renders as crisp images, and tables/images/query results come across.
PDF: full-fidelity print with selectable text.
Export one page, or select and order any set of pages from a tree into a single document.

Your content stays yours

PowerWiki stores nothing outside your wiki's Git repository. Every page remains plain, portable Markdown that renders in the built-in wiki, in clones, and in any Markdown tool. PowerWiki-specific niceties (badges, query tables, callouts) degrade to readable text everywhere else. The built-in wiki stays available to your whole team — PowerWiki is purely additive.

Requirements & permissions

An Azure DevOps project with at least one wiki (Services; Server where extension APIs are available).
Scopes: Wiki (read/write) for pages and attachments; Work Items (read) for badges and query tables; Code (read) for page history, the byline, and attachment listings from the wiki's Git repository; Notifications (write) for follow/unfollow page subscriptions.
Light, dark, and custom Azure DevOps themes are detected automatically.

Install it, open Power Wiki in your project, and give your wiki the experience it deserves.
