# Activate Archived Chatter Groups

Group owners, group managers, and users with the “Modify All Data” permission can activate an archived Chatter group from the group detail page.

### Required Editions

1. Navigate to the archived group that you want to activate.
    
    - To find the archived groups that you own, manage, or belong to, use the **My Archived Groups** filter on the Groups list view.
    - To find other archived groups, use global search, run a report, or ask your administrator for help.
2. On the group detail page, click **Activate**.
    
    You can also activate an archived group from the group settings page.

After an archived group is reactivated, the group detail page displays. The Chatter publisher is enabled so members can create posts and share files with the group.

Note

- Group members don’t receive email notifications when a Chatter group they own, manage, or belong to is archived or activated.
- You can activate only one group at a time. To activate multiple groups at once, use the Salesforce API.
