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 far behind SharePoint Online, the Wizdom on Modern SharePoint Experiences capabilities are currently not supported on SharePoint Server 2019.

Special considerations

 

Admin permissions

There has been some changes in the principles regarding admin permissions in the previous versions of Wizdom.

It now works like this:

• No admin groups are configured: Everyone is admin no other Wizdom permissions groups can be configured (everyone has all permissions)
• No module admin groups are configured: Eveyone is module admin
• At least one module permissions group is configured: These members are module admins, and admins are also module admins,
• No “Configuration Center Link” groups are defined: Everyone gets the configuration center link.
• At least one “Configuration Center Link” group is defined: These members get the link, and admins also get the link.

 

RichText Editor

• The new Richtext Editor introduced in Wizdom 6.31 is now activated on all sites. Until now a feature toggle could disable the new editor, but this feature toggle is now removed.
• Prior to this no toolbar configuration was available for Workspaces the configuration for Webform was used. Now, a separate Workspaces configuration is possible. If you have customized the RichText toolbar for Webform, this configuration will now be lost for Workspaces, so you will now have to reconfigure it for Workspaces.

New features

 

Corporate News

• Image and Description added to Workspace Types.

New Employees Web Part

• Both classic and modern version of New Employees will now look both x days back AND forward in time to find new hires

 

Workspaces

• Updated design with images and description for selecting when creating workspaces.

 

Wizdom for Modern SharePoint

 

Megamenu

• It is now possible to add empty headings in the foldout menu. This makes it easy to align columns that have a heading with columns that do not have a heading.

 

New Employees Web Part

• Added New Employees Modern Web Part

 

Workspaces

• Admins can now hide both the search field and the option to add new sites/workspaces.

  They can also set the to only show favorited sites/workspaces.

  Both are through the property panel.

   Users have a UI option to have only their favorited sites/workspaces shown.

• Workspace type configuration has been updated to enable creation of Modern Teamsites. Modern Teamsites are always created with an Office365 Group. Therefore the “Office365 configuration” is now only available when a selecting a modern sitetemplate based on a Modern Teamsite (webtemplate starting with “64”).

  Users and their roles will now be syncronized to the Modern Teamsite through the Office365 Group permissions.

  Users and their roles will now be syncronized to the SharePoint default roles for the Modern Communication site.

  For developers:

  The endpoints to create Office365 groups are still available and working. To get the functionality of the Modern Teamsite configuration and its sitetemplates use the “CreateModernSite” endpoint.

• Added Workspace Information Icon for showing/editing Workspace Information in modern Wizdom sites
• Added Workspace Information to modern Wizdom site templates
• Now possible to create a SharePoint Centric Workspace Type based on Modern Team Site but without Office 365 Group
• “Edit” and “Delete” functionality can be found in the “More”-dropdown, if user has permission to view them.
