Google is extending the previously announced timeline to give Google Workspace customers more time to migrate from classic Google Sites to new Google Sites.
In 2017, the tech giant had announced that it would replace classic Google Sites with new Google Sites. It had then extended the timeline for being able to edit any remaining classic Sites in users’ domain to June 1, 2022, from December 1, 2021 while the timeline for Classic Sites to be viewable unless they are converted to new Google Sites was extended to July 1, 2022, from January 1, 2022
These timelines have yet again been extended.
As per the new timeline, starting December 1, 2022, users will no longer be able to edit any remaining classic Sites in their domain. Further, starting January 1, 2023, Classic Sites will no longer be viewable unless they are converted to new Google Sites.

“To ensure a smooth transition and access to new Sites functionalities, end users and admins are encouraged to use the Classic Sites Manager to complete migration and convert individual classic Sites to new Google Sites before December 1, 2022,” it said in a blog post.
