Azure DevOps share wiki as dedicated webpages


We created a development governance as Word document. I need to share this document with internal and external people. Word has many drawbacks so I want to use some kind of Web Page. One idea was to use something like github pages. Each time one commit a change, pages should be build automatically.

We don't use github but Azure DevOps. I'm wondering if DevOps wiki is the right Tool. To my knowledge, a wiki is not accessible without permissions. The content I want to share is more general nature and not project specific.

Also it should be possible to create an interactive PDF document out of it.

How would you solve this in 2025 with Azure DevOps?

  1. Use wiki
  2. Use separate git and use build pipeline to run Jekyll for example

Solution

  • Azure DevOps does not have the built-in feature to use Wiki pages to create static website.

    You need to import or link the Wiki pages from your Azure DevOps project to a 3rd-party service/platform which supports using Wiki pages to create static website.

    If the Wiki pages you want to share do not contain any sensitive/privacy/secret information of you (your members and your organization), you can consider creating a public project in your Azure DevOps organization to specifically put these shared Wiki pages.

    The public projects can allow anonymous access that don't require users to sign in. The anonymous users can gain read-only access. See "About projects".
