In the Privacy setting, under 'Visibility' it gives several choices. One is:
"Group listed in directory; publicly viewable messages."
Another is:
"Group listed in directory; private messages"

When I tried to select the second one, I received a warning, "Are you sure you wish to make this group's archives private? Private archives cannot be reverted later."

Does the first choice mean that anyone on Groups.io can read the messages/posts of our group??

Thanks,
Paula

?Yes, anyone in the world. Including search engines such as Google, Bing? and DuckDuckGo.

That is the setting for GMF, by the way - if you log out of Groups.io you'll still be able to read the messages here.

So for our group to be publicly seen in groups.io BUT our messages and archives to be viewable by members only, the correct option during transfer is "group listed in directory, private messages"?

Yes.? The reason for the warning is that once the messages are made private, the can't be reverted to public.
