How to Use Microsoft Teams’ Built-In Wiki

Wikis are great at capturing information in a simple format that's easy to read and edit. Microsoft Teams includes a wiki built into every channel that's added to a team—here's how to use it.

A wiki—a collaboratively-maintained online publication—is a type of content management system that can be anything from a single page to a vast trove of information like Wikipedia.
Microsoft Teams includes a wiki as one of the default tabs in every channel that's created.

The "Wiki" tab in a Teams channel.

When you click on the "Wiki" tab for the first time, you'll see a largely blank page with "Untitled Page" and "Untitled Section" on it.

An empty wiki page.

Pages and sections are the building blocks of your Microsoft Teams wiki. You can have as many pages in your wiki as you like, and as many sections in each page as you like. Because wikis are unstructured by design, these page and section building blocks let you create a structure that is as simple or as complicated as you need.

You'll want to give your wiki page a name, which is as easy as clicking "Untitled Page" and changing it to something else.

A renamed wiki page.

Now you can start adding sections, which are best thought of as headings that separate different blocks of content. Click on "Untitled Section" and change it to a heading for your content.

When you click on "Untitled Section" to change it, a message pops up underneath saying "Your Content Goes Here."

The "Your content goes here" message.

This is a pointer to show you where the content goes under the section heading. We'll come back to adding content later on once we've finished building the structure, so for now we'll just add some placeholder text.

To add an additional section, hover over the first section and click on the "+" sign that appears in the bottom left.

This will add a new section.

You can add as many sections as you like, with whatever headings you like. We've added three additional sections using the "+" sign.

The more content you add, the longer the page will get, so there is a table of contents that you can show and hide. Click the three parallel lines (also known as a hamburger menu) in the top-left of the wiki to display your page and the sections within it.

Clicking one of the section headers will take you directly to that section. If you want to reorder the sections, it's as simple as dragging and dropping them on the menu.

The section will immediately be renumbered in the menu and moved in the wiki page to the location you dragged it to.

You can also move wiki sections by hovering over the section heading to show the three-dot menu icon and selecting "Move Up" or "Move Down" from the menu.

The "Move up" and "Move down" section menu options.

You can also delete sections by clicking "Delete" in the menu, but be warned that this cannot be undone, so only delete a section if you're sure you don't need the contents anymore.

The "Delete" section menu option.

When you're building the structure of your wiki, you'll probably want more than one page. To add a page, go to the bottom of the page and section menu and click "New Page."

The "New page" option.

This will immediately create a new page that is visible in the menu, ready for you to add a page name and new sections.

You can add as many pages as you want. Like sections, pages can be moved in the menu by dragging and dropping, or by clicking the three-dot icon next to the page title and selecting "Move Up" or "Move Down" from the menu.

The "Move up" and "Move down" page menu options.

You can also delete a page by clicking "Delete" in the menu, but be warned that this cannot be undone, so only delete a page if you're sure you don't need the contents anymore.

Once you have your pages and sections in place, it's time to add some content. Click on the wiki under a section and a toolbar with editing options will appear at the top. Depending on your screen size, some of the options will only become visible when you click on the three-dot icon next to the toolbar.

The text editing toolbar.

The toolbar contains standard text editing options which should be familiar from Microsoft Word, Google Docs, email, or any other program where you can format text.

If you want to comment on a section, you can open a dedicated chat window by hovering over the section heading and clicking the chat icon.

The chat button next to the section header.

This will open a standard Microsoft Teams chat window related specifically to that section.

To send a link to a specific section to someone, hover over the section heading, click the three-dot menu icon, and select "Copy Link" from the menu. Only people with access to the team will be able to access the link.

The "Copy link" section menu option.

You can send a link to a complete page as well, by opening the hamburger menu, clicking the three-dot icon next to the page name, and selecting "Copy Link" from the menu. As with section links, only people with access to the team will be able to access it.

The "Copy link" page menu option.

You can have multiple wikis in the same channel if you want to separate them out. To add another wiki, click the "+" sign next to the last tab.

In the "Add A Tab" window that opens, select "Wiki" from the tiles. (It may be in different places in the list of tiles, depending on whether you've added a wiki before.)

To rename the original wiki, select the "Wiki" tab, click the arrow next to it, and choose "Rename" from the menu.

The wiki in Microsoft Teams is not complicated, but it's not supposed to be. Instead, Microsoft has created a wiki experience that is pretty intuitive whilst allowing you to build up a complex body of information.

How to Quickly Mute Annoying Notifications on Mac

Posted: 01 Dec 2020 07:11 AM PST

Mac User Interacting with a Notification
Khamosh Pathak

Sometimes you need to take a breather from an app's notifications. Instead of turning off app notifications only to forget about them later, here's how you can quickly mute or unmute annoying notifications on Mac using the Deliver Quietly feature.

Mac users who are running macOS Big Sur and higher have access to Notification Center features like grouped notifications and notification management options. One of which is the Deliver Quietly feature. The namesake feature from iPhone and iPad works in the same way on your Mac.

When enabled, new notifications from the app will go quietly to the Notification Center, ready for you when you are. You won't see banners and the notification won't make a sound.

How to Quickly Mute App Notifications on Mac

You can use the Deliver Quietly feature directly from the Notification Center. When you receive a notification from an app that you want to temporarily (or permanently) mute, right-click the notification and choose the "Deliver Quietly" option.

Click Deliver Quietly from Notification

Now, the app won't bother you with new notifications.

You can also enable this feature for any app that has notifications in the Notification Center. Click the date and time from the menu bar to open Notification Center.

Click Time in Mac Menu Bar to Open Notification Center

Find an app you want to mute, right-click the notification, and choose the "Deliver Quietly" feature.

Click Deliver Quietly from Notificatio Center

Now, the app's notifications will directly go to Notification Center and won't bother you when you're working on your Mac.

How to Quickly Unmute App Notifications on Mac

Unlike the Do Not Disturb feature, you can't mute specific app notifications for a couple of hours. But as long as the notification is still in the Notification Center, it's possible to quickly unmute the app's notifications using the Deliver Prominently feature.

To do this, open "Notification Center" by clicking the date and time from the menu bar.

Click Time in Mac Menu Bar to Open Notification Center

Then, find the app where you want to unmute notifications, right-click, and choose the "Deliver Prominently" option.

Click Deliver Prominently from Notification Center

Now, the notifications will go back to the default setting, with new notifications coming in as banners in the top-right corner of the screen.

How to Unmute App Notifications from System Preferences

You can only unmute app notifications from the Notification Center. But what if you have cleared all notifications? No need to worry, you can unmute app notifications from System Preferences.

Click the "Apple" icon from the menu bar and choose the "System Preferences" option.

Select System Preferences from Apple Menu in Big Sur

Here, go to the "Notifications" section.

Click Notifications from System Preferences

Now, from the sidebar, choose the app you want to unmute. You'll now see notification settings like the screenshot below.

Select the App From Notifications Section

Sadly, there's no one-click option to unmute the app's notifications. Instead, you'll have to do this manually. First, choose the "Banners" option from the "Alert Style" section.

Then, click the checkmark next to the "Show Notifications on Lock Screen" and "Play Sound for Notifications" option to go back to the default behavior.

Check Options to Unmute App from System Preferences


Now that you have muted annoying app notifications, use these seven Mac tweaks to increase your productivity even further.

Well, Google has a survey-based app in India, known as Google Opinion Rewards. The app frequently sends you surveys to complete and pays you for doing so. If you have ever used Google Opinion Rewards, you might know that the cashout was limited to only Google Play Store purchases.

How to Pay for Gas Without Leaving Your Car

Posted: 30 Nov 2020 09:23 AM PST

Paying for gas from a smartphone

The old days of sliding a credit card into a gas pump are slowly going away. While that's still an option, many places support tap-to-pay with phones. However, there's an even newer feature that lets you pay from your car.

Tap-to-pay with NFC is still relatively new for gas stations, but this method is already being surpassed. A growing number of locations actually support your ability to pay from an app in the comfort of your car. You simply enter your pump number and you're ready to start pumping.

There are several different apps you can use to do this. The gas station chains that support the feature have their own apps. However, Google Pay, which is available for iPhone and Android, combines a couple of these into one interface. We'll show you how to use the feature.

Google Pay

The Google Pay app is for much more than just mobile payments. It can be used to order food, split bills with friends, track your spending habits, and much more. One such "more" is paying for gas.

RELATED: What Is Google Pay, and What Can You Do With It?

Open the Google Pay app on your iPhone or Android device. On the main "Pay" tab, scroll down and select "Get Gas."

select Get Gas to begin

Next, select one of the participating gas stations. You can tap the directions icon to launch Google Maps and navigate to the location. However, if you're already at the gas station, it will automatically be detected and open.

choose a gas station

When you're at the gas station, you'll be asked to select your pump number. Scroll through the numbers until you've selected your pump and then tap "Continue."

select your pump number and tap continue

A confirmation page will ask you to confirm your pump number and tap "Continue to Payment."

Next, you'll need to unlock Google Pay with your password, PIN, fingerprint, or other screen-lock method.

unlock Google Pay

Now you can select your payment method, which will be one of the methods you've already added to the Google Pay app. Tap "Continue" after you've made your selection.

choose a payment method

It will take a few seconds for the pump to be "Activated." After that, the screen will say that your pump is ready. You can now get out of your car, choose a fuel grade, and begin pumping.

Once you've finished pumping, a notification will appear telling you how much you just spent. The transaction will also appear in your "Recent Activity" on the "Insights" tab.

That's all there is to it!

First-Party Gas Station Apps

If your local gas station isn't showing up in Google Pay, or if you simply prefer not to use Google's service, many gas stations have their own apps for the same purpose.

The process of using these first-party gas station apps will be notably similar. You'll need to create an account and provide a payment method, such as a credit card. When you arrive at the gas station, the app will ask you to enter the pump number that you're at.

Here are a few of the most popular U.S. gas station chains that support app payments:


Paying for gas has never been easier. The days of fiddling with your wallet or tapping a phone are over. If you're looking to save time or limit touchpoints, this is a great feature to start using. Check to see if your frequent gas stops are supported!
