Groups

Select related items and group them when you want to move, scale, rotate, or style them as one. Groups can be nested to create a hierarchy of content.

  1. Select two or more items.
  2. Press ⌘G or use the control bar.

The selected items are wrapped in a new group. You can move, resize, and rotate the group as a single unit.

Board zoomed into a group's contents in drill-in mode, with individual items selectable and the group boundary visible.

Double-tap a group to “drill in” — the board zooms to the group’s contents, and you can select and edit individual items inside it. Tap outside the group or press Escape to exit.
