How Do I Group Elements in Google Sites?

You can group elements in Google Sites to easily manage and move them together as a single unit. Here's how:

Steps to Group Elements

1. Select the elements: Click on the elements you wish to group. You can select multiple elements by holding down the Shift key (or Ctrl key on Windows or Command key on Mac) while clicking on each element.
2. Create the group: Once you've selected all desired elements, go to the top menu.
   • Click Edit.
   • Select Create group... from the dropdown menu.
3. Name the group (Optional): A dialog box may appear, allowing you to name the group for easier identification. If prompted, enter a name.
4. Click OK: Finalize the group creation.

Now, when you select any element within the group, the entire group will be selected, allowing you to move, resize, or apply formatting to all elements simultaneously.

Editing a Group

• Ungrouping: To ungroup elements, select the group and then click Edit > Ungroup. This will separate the elements back into individual components.
• Adding/Removing elements: Currently, there's no direct built-in way to add or remove elements from an existing group after creation. You need to ungroup, re-select all desired elements (including the new ones or excluding the undesired ones), and recreate the group.

Benefits of Grouping

• Improved organization: Makes it easier to manage complex page layouts.
• Simplified movement and resizing: Move and resize multiple elements at once.
• Consistent formatting: Apply formatting changes to an entire group.
