New Groups will become the only user experience beginning November 10, 2020
Update
October 20, 2020: We have adjusted the dates that classic Groups will be turned off. It will now take place between November 10, 2020 and November 12, 2020 for Rapid Release domains, and between November 16, 2020 and November 19, 2020 for Scheduled Release domains. These updates have been reflected in the post below.
Quick launch summary
In May 2020, we launched new Google Groups to provide a modern experience that matches Gmail and other Google services. In September, we made new Groups the default experience for all users, but allowed individual users to choose to use the classic Groups interface.
Starting on November 10, 2020 for Rapid Release domains and on November 16, 2020 for Scheduled Release domains, classic Groups will be turned off completely. After that date, there will be no option to use the old version (previously at Settings > Return to classic Google Groups). Users within your organization who were already using new Groups will not notice a change, but users who had chosen to use old Groups will be moved to the new interface.
Getting started
- Admins: New groups will be the only experience available to all users. To prepare for this change, you can visit our Help Center to learn more about the new Groups release, and note the features from old Groups that will no longer be supported in new Groups.
