Shape Grouping
Organise related shapes into groups that move, lock, and hide as a unit. Manage group membership through the layers panel or right-panel controls.
When an infographic contains dozens of shapes, managing them individually becomes impractical. Shape grouping lets you bundle related shapes together so they behave as a single unit for movement, visibility, and locking.
Creating a Group
Managing Groups
All group management happens through the layers panel in the right-hand menu.
Add Shapes to a Group
Drag a shape onto the lower half of a group header in the layers panel. The shape joins the group immediately.
Remove Shapes from a Group
Drag a shape from inside a group to a root-level position (or to the upper half of a group header). The shape leaves the group but remains on the canvas.
Rename a Group
Double-click the group header label in the layers panel to edit it inline. Press Enter to confirm or Escape to cancel.
Ungroup
Select any shape in the group, then click the Ungroup button in the right panel. All members become independent shapes again.
Group-Wide Operations
The group header in the layers panel provides controls that affect all members simultaneously.
| Operation | How | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Hide all members | Click the eye icon on the group header | All shapes in the group become invisible on the canvas |
| Show all members | Click the eye icon again | All shapes in the group become visible |
| Lock all members | Click the lock icon on the group header | No member can be moved, resized, or deleted |
| Unlock all members | Click the lock icon again | All members become editable again |
| Delete entire group | Click the trash icon on the group header | All members are removed from the canvas (disabled when locked) |
| Select all members | Click the group header row | All member shapes are selected on the canvas |
