# Group wikis **(PREMIUM)**
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/13195) in GitLab 13.5.
|
|
|
|
If you use GitLab groups to manage multiple projects, some of your documentation
|
|
might span multiple groups. You can create group wikis, instead of [project wikis](index.md),
|
|
to ensure all group members have the correct access permissions to contribute.
|
|
Group wikis are similar to [project wikis](index.md), with a few limitations:
|
|
|
|
- [Git LFS](../../../topics/git/lfs/index.md) is not supported.
|
|
- Group wikis are not included in [global search](../../search/advanced_search.md).
|
|
- Changes to group wikis don't show up in the [group's activity feed](../../group/manage.md#group-activity-analytics).
|
|
|
|
For updates, follow [the epic that tracks feature parity with project wikis](https://gitlab.com/groups/gitlab-org/-/epics/2782).
|
|
|
|
Similar to project wikis, group members with at least the Developer role
|
|
and higher can edit group wikis. Group wiki repositories can be moved using the
|
|
[Group repository storage moves API](../../../api/group_repository_storage_moves.md).
|
|
|
|
## View a group wiki
|
|
|
|
To access a group wiki:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find your group.
|
|
1. To display the wiki, either:
|
|
- On the left sidebar, select **Wiki**.
|
|
- On any page in the project, use the <kbd>g</kbd> + <kbd>w</kbd>
|
|
[wiki keyboard shortcut](../../shortcuts.md).
|
|
|
|
## Export a group wiki
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/merge_requests/53247) in GitLab 13.9.
|
|
|
|
Users with the Owner role in a group can
|
|
[import or export a group wiki](../../group/import/index.md#migrate-groups-by-uploading-an-export-file-deprecated) when they
|
|
import or export a group.
|
|
|
|
Content created in a group wiki is not deleted when an account is downgraded or a
|
|
GitLab trial ends. The group wiki data is exported whenever the group owner of
|
|
the wiki is exported.
|
|
|
|
To access the group wiki data from the export file if the feature is no longer
|
|
available, you have to:
|
|
|
|
1. Extract the [export file tarball](../../group/import/index.md#migrate-groups-by-uploading-an-export-file-deprecated)
|
|
with this command, replacing `FILENAME` with your file's name:
|
|
`tar -xvzf FILENAME.tar.gz`
|
|
1. Browse to the `repositories` directory. This directory contains a
|
|
[Git bundle](https://git-scm.com/docs/git-bundle) with the extension `.wiki.bundle`.
|
|
1. Clone the Git bundle into a new repository, replacing `FILENAME` with
|
|
your bundle's name: `git clone FILENAME.wiki.bundle`
|
|
|
|
All files in the wiki are available in this Git repository.
|
|
|
|
## Configure group wiki visibility
|
|
|
|
> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues/208412) in GitLab 15.0.
|
|
|
|
Wikis are enabled by default in GitLab. Group [administrators](../../permissions.md)
|
|
can enable or disable a group wiki through the group settings.
|
|
|
|
To open group settings:
|
|
|
|
1. On the top bar, select **Main menu > Groups** and find your group.
|
|
1. On the left sidebar, select **Settings > General**.
|
|
1. Expand **Permissions and group features**.
|
|
1. Scroll to **Wiki** and select one of these options:
|
|
- **Enabled**: Everyone who can access the group can access the wiki.
|
|
- **Private**: Only group members can access the wiki.
|
|
- **Disabled**: The wiki isn't accessible, and cannot be downloaded.
|
|
1. Select **Save changes**.
