- XLSX
- CSV
- PPTX
Editing requires access to the document and its editor. DOC, ODT, XLS, ODS, FODS and PPT open for viewing. Office conversion supports a subset of each format's features.
Connected knowledge
A wiki that opens the next step.
Turn a page into a useful starting point. Link to other wiki pages with @ or [[, see backlinks, and bring native tasks and saved table views directly into the document.
- Organize parent and child pages with a clear hierarchy.
- Open a task's details from its embedded title.
- Pin an accessible wiki as a channel tab on web and desktop.

Example Wiki content
Wiki ownership & review
Know who owns it. Know what to trust.
Useful knowledge needs care. Assign page owners and stewards, distinguish drafts from published pages, and verify the revision your team should rely on. Review reminders help bring attention back when it's needed.
- Follow pages and receive review notifications.
- Preview retained Wiki revisions before restoring them.
- Discuss Wiki content with page and row comments.
Knowledge health
Every page has a next step.

A few useful details.
How is a Wiki different from a document?
Wiki is Polybase's block-based knowledge format, with page hierarchy, backlinks, ownership, verification, comments and retained revision history. The document editor focuses on paginated writing and DOCX import/export. Both live in the Docs module alongside spreadsheets, presentations and uploaded files.
Can multiple people edit together?
Wiki shows editing presence and reserves the active editing region while someone works in it; people can work in separate regions. A region can contain multiple blocks. Word-style documents use one active editor at a time. Wiki comments and history are specific to Wiki, rather than features of every file type.
Can I use my existing Office files?
Yes. DOCX, XLSX and PPTX have editing paths in Polybase; PDFs and other supported uploads can be previewed. Import and export support depends on the format. Advanced Office layouts, formulas or effects may change, so review important files after conversion. The desktop local-file workflow saves a copy rather than overwriting your original.
Document Management
Give every document a place in the bigger picture.
