# 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.

### Required Editions

<table class="slds-table slds-table_bordered slds-max-medium-table_stacked slds-m-bottom_small edition"><colgroup><col></colgroup><tbody><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: both Salesforce Classic and Lightning Experience</td></tr><tr class=""><td class="slds-cell-wrap" style="vertical-align:top;">Available in: <strong>Essentials</strong>, <strong>Group</strong>, <strong>Professional</strong>, <strong>Enterprise</strong>, <strong>Performance</strong>, <strong>Unlimited</strong>, <strong>Contact Manager</strong>, and <strong>Developer</strong> Editions</td></tr></tbody></table>

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.
