What do I need to know? All existing classic Sites must be migrated by December 2021. Below is the high level transition timeline: • August 2020 - New Sites will become the default option for website creation. • Starting May 2021 - New website creation will no longer be available in classic Sites. This means that any new websites created in the organization will only be in new Sites. • Starting October 2021 - Editing of remaining classic Sites will be disabled. • Starting December 2021 - When users try to visit a classic Site, they will no longer see the website content. Any remaining classic Sites will automatically be: o Downloaded as an archive and saved to the site owner’s Google Drive. o Replaced with a draft in the new Sites experience for site owners to review and publish. To help support your domain’s transition, in early 2021, we will follow up with a reminder on the steps required to complete your migration. For additional details or questions and the latest resources, review the help center.

A new Classic Sites Manager is now available for you and your users to manage the transition. The console allows you to view all classic Sites in your domain, export a summary to Google Sheets for project management, and take bulk actions to convert, archive or delete your sites. https://sites.google.com/classicsitesmanager
