Introduction
Wiki PRO is built to help developers and business users collaborate more effectively.
It works side by side with the native Azure DevOps wiki, using the same data source and API while adding long-missing features such as the latest Mermaid diagrams, alerts/admonitions, and other markdown improvements.
Wiki PRO works with both Azure DevOps and Azure DevOps Server — just install the extension to unlock modern diagrams and enhanced wiki capabilities, even on older versions of Azure DevOps Server.
Freemium Model
Wiki PRO follows a freemium model. You can use the core features for free.
If you need advanced enterprise-focused capabilities or guaranteed support, you can upgrade to a paid subscription.
