Google announces that users need to transition from classic to new Sites

Google announces that users need to transition from classic to new Sites according to the this timeline:
  • Starting August 13, 2020 - New Sites will become the default option for website creation. See more details below.
  • Starting May 2021 - New website creation will no longer be available in classic Sites. This means that any new websites created in your organization will only be in new Sites.
  • Starting October 2021 - Editing of any remaining classic Sites will be disabled.
  • Starting December 2021 - When users try to visit a classic Site, they will no longer see the website content. Any remaining classic Sites will automatically be:
    • Downloaded as an archive.
    • Replaced with a draft in the new Sites experience for site owners to review and publish.
