Prerequisites
There are no prerequisites for this release. Please check previous release notes if you are not upgrading from the latest version.
This release has been tested in the following environment:
- Office 365 tenant and Azure
- SharePoint Server 2013
- SharePoint Server 2016
Wizdom Add-In now works on SharePoint Server 2019 Preview.
Note: As the Modern SharePoint Experience platform and development framework is too far behind SharePoint Online, the Wizdom on Modern SharePoint Experiences capabilities are currently not supported on SharePoint Server 2019.
Special considerations
Custom Modules / Integrations
- When authenticating against the Wizdom API, it is now required to supply a JWT token issued to the tenant configured in Wizdom application settings
New features
Policies and procedures
- A Compliance Report feature has been added. This feature can be found in the
Wizdom Configuration site by clicking “Admin” and then “Policies & Procedures”. A manual can be found in the Documentation section.
Department Users
- An option is added to control the sort
order, when users are added manually.
Active Directory integration (OnPrem installations)
- Problems have been detected when users have been moved from one domain to another. In these
cases the methods used by Wizdom could give wrong results. In this version a workaround has been introduced, so the users should be resolved correctly despite these AD problems.

This issue should now be fixed, but the fix has the following side effect:- Brian creates a corporate news item and breaks rights, to not allow Jonas to read it
- (Or Jonas initially has read rights, reads it or likes it, and then has read rights removed)
- Brian then mentions Jonas and Lotte in a comment
- When Jonas gets notifications, he WILL have access to the corp news LIST – but not the ITEM – and we end up here
- Then when Lotte gets her notifications, the cache will contain a dead item reference for the item – and she will not see the mention
