Grouping and ungrouping objects

When you group objects, you combine them so you can work with them as a single unit. Move, lock and unlock all objects in a group as a single unit. Group properties will enable you to set a transition on the group, applying the transition to all objects within the group. You can also perform actions on groups. For example, using a group as a target on a show or hide action will show or hide all components of the group.

You can also specify the group's reading order to last.

Groups can contain all kinds of objects, images, text blocks, audio, and actions. When a group consists entirely of actions, it is referred to as an Action Group. You can use a single command to run all of the actions inside of an action group.

You can ungroup a group of objects at any time and then regroup them later.

When a group object is deleted, all objects within that group are deleted as well.
