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.  

New features

Wizdom for Modern SharePoint

These new features are only applicable
for Wizdom on Modern SharePoint Experience.
Various bug fixes and improvements have been added to existing Wizdom on Modern SharePoint Experience web parts and modules.

NOTE: While it is now possible to customize Modern Module Templates we expect that we will probably introduce breaking changes in future versions of existing Modern modules, so we recommend keeping customizations of Wizdom on Modern in production to a minimum or allocate sufficient resources to ongoing maintenance of customizations over the coming months.
