Frequently Asked Questions

When is Workplace from Meta shutting down?

Meta has announced a timeline for discontinuing Workplace from Meta. Here are the key dates:

August 31, 2025: Workplace will operate normally up until this date.
September 1, 2025 - May 31, 2026: Users will no longer be able to post new content. All existing content will become read-only, but you can still download existing data.
June 1, 2026: The service will be permanently taken offline.

What platforms should my organization migrate to?

This is greatly dependent on the needs of your organization and what you are looking for from your communication platform. Our LineZero consultants are well-versed in several platforms and their features and can make recommendations that will best suit your goals and needs.

What data can I migrate from Workplace from Meta?

You will be able to download your own Workplace data, such as profile information, posts or chat messages, at any time up until May 31, 2026. For data that will not be migrated, it can be archived. LineZero has an archiving solution that will allow us to pull any group or user feed into an html that is stored locally. This html file will display content just as it appeared in Workplace and is searchable so you can find historical information easily.

How long does the migration process take?

From analysis to procurement to data archiving and launch, the migration process will take approximately 4-8 weeks but timelines may change based on your organization’s requirements.
