Analyze and manage your classic Sites

You can use Classic Sites Manager to help transition from classic Sites to new Sites.

Classic Sites Manager allows you to view all your classic Sites and information about each site. For example, you can see how many times each classic Site has been viewed over the last month.

You can convert a single site or multiple sites when you use Classic Sites Manager. Use filters to sort and analyze multiple sites.

1. On a computer, go to Classic Sites Manager.
2. Click on a site to open a side panel with more info about the site. It may take about 24 hours for a recently created classic site to appear on Classic Sites Manager.

   • Title
   • Owner
   • Views in the past month
   • Views in the past year

Convert your site from classic Sites to new Sites

Important: If you convert a classic site, the new site doesn’t include Apps Scripts created from within a classic site.

You can use Classic Sites Manager to bulk convert your classic Sites to new Sites.

1. On your computer, go to classic Sites.
2. On the left panel, click Classic Sites Manager. 
3. On the right panel, click Conversion tool. Select one or more sites to convert. You can use filters to find the sites you need. 
4. Click Convert. 
5. To keep the same site permissions, check the box next to "Preserve sharing settings."
6. Click Convert.
   • It may take several minutes to convert large Sites.
   • After conversion, changes you make to your original Site won't transfer to the new one.
7. To review your Site, click Review draft.
   • Optional: If you plan to publish your new site to another address, click Advanced  Disconnect. 
8. To publish your site, at the top right, click Publish.
9. Enter a web address for your new site.
   • Optional: To change who can view your site, click Manage.
10. Click Publish.

Tips: If you initiate the conversion of multiple classic Sites to new Sites:

• You’ll become the owner of the converted sites.
• If someone is unable to create new Sites in your site settings, they also won’t be able to convert classic Sites.
• If some sites can’t be converted, like if they’re in a different domain than you, they’ll be skipped and you’ll be notified by email.
• Completion emails are only sent if a conversion fails for a size violation. If you want to check for other failures, you can filter for sites that say “Not started” once your bulk conversion is complete.

Important: For any site last viewed before April 2020, the "Last viewed" date is blank in exported data.

1. At the bottom left corner of your list, click Export to Google Sheets .
2. In the "Successfully exported to Google Sheets" popup, click View.
3. Open the Sheet in Drive titled "Your classic Google Sites export on <date/time>."
