What’s changing As previously announced, we are replacing classic Google Sites with new Google Sites. To avoid disruption, please make sure all of your existing classic Sites are migrated by December 31, 2021 .
We’d like to remind you that:
Starting December 1, 2021: you will no longer be able to edit any remaining classic Google Sites in your domain. Starting January 1, 2022: classic Google Sites will no longer be viewable unless they are converted to new Google Sites . Any remaining classic Sites will automatically be: Downloaded as an archive and saved to the website owner’s Google Drive. Replaced with a draft in the new Google Sites for site owners to review and publish. See below for more information.
Who’s impacted Admins and end users
Why it’s important To ensure your organization’s classic Sites content continues to be viewable without interruption, make sure all your existing classic Sites are migrated by
December 31, 2021 . If you haven’t already done so,
enable new Sites creation for your organization.
We anticipate the transition process for all remaining classic Sites that starts on January 1, 2022 will take up to three months to complete. Admins will receive an email notification once this is completed for their domain. During the transition period, you and your users will still be able to migrate remaining classic Sites that have not already been auto-migrated.
Additional details Some sites may not be automatically replaced with a draft in new Google Sites due to page count limits or other factors. Please see this
Help Center article for more information and to determine if your site is impacted and
action is needed before December 31, 2021.
Getting started Admins: Use the Classic Sites Manager to help your users make the transition. Using this console, admins can: View all classic Sites in your domain with the option to export to Google Sites for project management. Convert, archive, restore, or delete your websites, individually or in bulk. Bulk update ownership of sites. Availability Available to all Google Workspace customers, as well as G Suite Basic and Business customers Available to users with personal Google Accounts
