1. From Setup, enter Group Layouts in the Quick Find box, then select **Group Layouts**.
2. Click **Edit** next to the group layout that you want to customize, or click **New** to create a layout.
3. From the palette on the top of the page, drag fields, buttons, and other user interface elements. Drag these elements to different sections to add them to the group layout. To remove elements from the layout, drag them back to the palette. To make sure your action works in the Salesforce mobile app and Lightning Experience, be sure the following are in your group layout:
    
    - Post
    - Announcement (announcements aren’t available in the Salesforce mobile app)
    - File
    - Poll
    - Edit Group
    - New Group Member
    - Manage Notifications
    - Delete Group
    - Leave Group
    
    All group layout changes affect the Salesforce mobile app and Lightning Experience. Group publisher changes appear everywhere. For example, imagine that you delete the Files related list or a field in the Group Details section. Your changes appear only in the app and Lightning Experience. They don’t appear in Salesforce Classic.
4. To save the layout, click **Save**.

Example Let’s allow group owners and managers to archive and activate groups from the Salesforce mobile app and Lightning Experience. Drag the Archive field to the Group Detail section.

To assign group layouts by user profiles, click **Page Layout Assignment** on the group layout list view.
