# How to Remove Group Conversation Functionality

If you'd like to remove group chat functionality from the template, this can be easily done by by hiding the `SearchBox Add Users to Conversation (New Conversation)` element and the `Group Suggested Users` element when there is one other User selected to start a new conversation.  This way, if you'd ever like to re-add group functionality in the future, you can just remove the following conditionals.  Here is a step-by-step guide:

### Step-by-Step Guide

1\. On the messages page, search for the Searchbox Add Users to Conversation (New Conversation) element in the element search input:

2\. Click on the conditional tab and add the following conditional statement:

3\. Right-click the condition and click "Copy condition".  (We're going to be pasting this condition on the `Group Suggested Users` element in Step 6).

4\. Click on the "Appearance" tab and select "Collapse this element's height when hidden".

5\. Search for the Group Suggested Users element in the element search input:

![](https://1788973256-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-L8uq1TOYNrDiHA5baDk%2F-Lgg6VWyF1whARk6El-h%2F-Lgg1PXiH8HRd69vjtjn%2FGroupSuggestedUsersSelect.png?alt=media\&token=1afbbad6-2204-4e8b-97bc-e5b57f677367)

6\. Click on the conditional tab and paste the condition from Step 3 by right-clicking the gray area, and selecting "Paste condition"

After the condition is pasted, it will look like this:
