- Chatter Group Archiving
If a group has no new feed posts or comments for 90 consecutive days, the group is archived automatically. When group archiving is enabled, feed activity in groups is automatically reviewed weekly. - Enable Records in Chatter Groups
By default, records are allowed in groups. But you can also customize the group publisher to include the Add Record action, so users can add records to groups. - Enable Unlisted Chatter Groups
Enable unlisted groups for your organization to help users collaborate more privately in Chatter. - Unlisted Group Limitations
Before you decide to enable unlisted groups in your organization, consider these limitations.
