Azure DevOps Wikis Airdrop

The Azure DevOps Wikis Airdrop simplifies the migration of Wiki content from Azure DevOps to DevRev, supporting both one-time imports and ongoing syncs.

Setting up the Azure DevOps connection

To configure the Azure DevOps connection, ensure the Azure DevOps token includes the following access scopes:

Code - Read
Graph - Read
Identity - Read
Member Entitlement Management - Read
Project and Team - Read
Security - Manage
Wiki - Read

Importing from Azure DevOps Wikis

Follow the steps below to import from Azure DevOps Wikis:

Go to Marketplace and search for Azure DevOps Wikis in the Airdrop category.
Install the snap-in and configure it in the Airdrop section of your settings.
Click +Import and select the Azure DevOps Wikis logo.
Create a new connection to your Azure DevOps account or use an existing one.
Once the connection is established, select the Azure DevOps organization and Wiki repositories to import.
DevRev automatically maps fields from Azure DevOps Wikis to DevRev articles. You may be prompted to manually map certain fields if needed.

The duration of the import depends on the size of the Azure DevOps Wikis content. DevRev respects API rate limits and resumes automatically if necessary.

Post import options

After a successful import, you have the following options available:

Sync to DevRev This option keeps your Azure DevOps Wikis content synchronized with DevRev, ensuring that new articles and updates are continuously reflected.
View Report Access detailed information about the initial import and any subsequent syncs.
Delete Import Remove the import and all imported items from DevRev.
Edit Connection Modify the connection settings if needed.

Sync to DevRev

After importing from an Azure DevOps Wikis account, you can enable sync to keep your content updated in DevRev. This feature ensures that any new or modified Wiki content in Azure DevOps is reflected in DevRev.

To perform a one-time sync to DevRev, follow these steps:

Go to Settings > Integrations > Airdrops.
Locate the previously imported project.
Select the ⇆ > ⇾ From Azure DevOps Wikis to DevRev option.

A one-time sync may overwrite fields in previously imported articles, even if they were modified in DevRev.

Historical Airdrops

To view currently running and previous Airdrops from various sources, do the following:

Go to Settings > Integrations > Airdrops.
Select the import you want to view.
Click on the context menu (⋮) and select View Report.

Periodic sync

After successfully importing to DevRev, you have the option to enable a periodic sync. This allows for automatic synchronization with DevRev on a regular basis. By default, the sync occurs once an hour.

To configure periodic sync, follow these steps:

Go to Settings > Integrations > Airdrops.
Locate the previously imported project.
Select the ⇆ > Set Periodic Sync option.

The Enable automations for synced items setting is optional and can be activated during periodic sync configuration. When enabled, newly created or updated items trigger events, which can initiate webhooks, notifications, Snap-ins, and other processes, as if the events originated directly in DevRev.

If this setting is disabled, updates will not trigger any event-driven processes. This behavior applies only to periodic syncs; no events are triggered during a first-time import or manual sync to or from DevRev.

Delete import

This deletes any content created by the import, including users and works.

An import and all the content it creates can be deleted from DevRev. This can be useful when running POCs or to change the recipe used during the import. Once an import has been deleted, all the content it created gets deleted, even if they were modified in DevRev. It's possible to import the project again after its deletion.

To delete an import and all the content it created, go to Settings > Integrations > Airdrops, find the previously imported project, and select ⋮ > Delete Import.
