Convert your classic Sites to new Sites

You can convert most classic Sites to new Sites. If you can’t convert your site, you can create a new site.

1. On a computer, open a classic Site. If you don’t own the site, contact the site owner.
2. In the top right, click Settings .
3. Click Manage site.
4. In the left menu, click Convert to new Sites. If this text doesn't appear, you can copy your content to new Sites.

A classic site is eligible for auto-migration to new sites if one owner of the classic site meets the following criteria. The owner:

• Must not have a disabled account.
• Isn't a Google group. The Google groups aren’t eligible to be the owner of new sites. Users who are part of a Google group aren’t eligible owners. Users individually added as owners of classic sites are eligible owners.
• Must be in the same domain as the classic site. Users outside the classic site domain aren’t eligible to be the owner of the new site.

When you convert a site, the new Sites content policies apply.

To be eligible to receive takeout of the classic site, the classic site owner must:

• Not be a Google group. Google groups that are owners aren’t eligible to receive takeout of the classic site.
• Be in the same domain as the Classic site. Users outside the classic site domain aren’t eligible to receive takeout of the classic site.
