Note Beginning in Summer ’26, Chatter is turned off by default in all new orgs. For any features in these orgs that require access to Chatter functionality or the Chatter APIs, turn on Chatter by going to **Setup** | **Chatter Settings** and selecting **Enable**. For details, see [Chatter Is Turned Off by Default in New Orgs Beginning in Summer ’26](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_chatter_default_off.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

- **[Chatter Group Archiving](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_group_archive_admin.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    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](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_group_records_enabling.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    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](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_unlisted_groups_enabling_for_org.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Enable unlisted groups for your organization to help users collaborate more privately in Chatter.
- **[Unlisted Group Limitations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_group_unlisted_limitations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Before you decide to enable unlisted groups in your organization, consider these limitations.
