If you’re trying to turn SharePoint into a scalable knowledge management system — but find yourself tangled in permissions, folders, and multilingual chaos — you’re not alone. 

In this post, we’ll walk you through how to build a SharePoint knowledge base tool that delivers real value, what kind of license you need to get started, and how to ensure your solution is compatible with Microsoft Teams and record management policies. 

What License Do You Need to Create a Wiki in SharePoint? 

You don’t need a fancy plan to get started. 
Creating a basic wiki page in SharePoint Online requires only a Microsoft 365 Business Standard or E3/E5 license

License Plan Wiki Pages Version History Metadata & Tags Site Pages Library 
M365 Business Basic ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ❌ Limited ✅ Yes 
M365 Business Standard ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Basic ✅ Yes 
M365 Enterprise E3/E5 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Advanced ✅ Yes 

But if you want to move from basic to enterprise-grade knowledge sharing, you’ll need more than pages, you need a SharePoint knowledge management system

SharePoint as a Knowledge Management System

SharePoint has all the building blocks of a modern intranet, but out-of-the-box, it lacks structure. A true knowledge management system in SharePoint enables you to: 

  • Centralize knowledge using templates and metadata 
  • Tag and categorize information using Term Store 
  • Integrate with Microsoft Teams 
  • Localize content across languages 
  • Apply lifecycle and governance rules 

Rocketta provides the structure, logic, and automation to make this not only possible, but easy.

  • AI chatbot inside Microsoft Teams 
  • Favorite pages and PDF export
