The Wiki Tab is a very useful tool that Teams users can utilize to draft and edit documents, and chat at the same time. One of the advantages of using Wiki is that team members can ask and answer questions related to the documents they’re working on in real-time. In this manner, you’ll quickly get your answer and the team can move on to the next task.

The Wiki tab allows you to format the text, add new sections, link to different sections, and more.

Can Guests Edit Documents in Microsoft Teams?

Guest users can collaborate on documents in Microsoft Teams. People with guest access can see and open the documents available in Teams channels. They can also edit the respective documents if the IT admin has granted them the necessary permissions.

Your admin can always restrict guest users’ access to Teams files. Or they can grant guests additional access permissions. For more information on how to collaborate with guests in a team, go to Microsoft’s Support page.
