Chatter Group Archiving

Mentioning a group doesn’t count as feed activity and doesn’t delay group archiving. Archived groups count toward your org’s group limits (30,000) but not toward a user’s group membership limits (300).

There are more group archiving settings on the group settings page, where group owners and managers can archive or activate the group and edit automatic archiving settings. To change archiving settings for multiple groups at the same time, use the Salesforce API.

If your organization doesn’t want to use group archiving, turn off this feature in Setup. Enter Chatter in the Quick Find box, select Chatter Settings, and deselect Allow Group Archiving in the Groups section.

Note You can take steps to allow group owners and managers to archive, activate, or turn off automatic archiving in the Salesforce mobile app and Lightning Experience. Customize the group layout and add the necessary fields.
