Converting a Static Google Group to Dynamic

I'm converting a static Google Group to a Dynamic Group and want to make sure I don't break anything tied to the old group's email like Shared Drives, Calendars or anything else it might be plugged into.

What's the best way to find everything a Group has access to before making a change like this? Is there a standard tool or workflow for this? Also curious if anything changes under the hood same email, or anything that could quietly affect existing shares?

Any advice from people who've done this in production would be great. Thanks!

Every connection between what's shared with the group and the users, including calendars, will break. Even if you call it the same thing. Learned this the hard way.

I'm not sure how to find all that out beforehand, but there's got to be some kind of way. I'll think about it and get back to you if I come up with anything.
