Group Node

The Group Node is a container that holds other nodes. Move the group and everything inside moves with it — ideal for keeping big canvases tidy.

---

Creating a group

1. Select two or more nodes (drag a selection box, or Shift-click nodes)
2. Click Group selection in the floating toolbar that appears

The selected nodes are wrapped in a dashed-border container.

Working with a group

• Label — click the title field (placeholder "Untitled") above the group and type a name
• Move — drag the group; all child nodes move with it
• Resize — drag the group's edges to change its size

A group can't be resized smaller than 100 × 100.

When the group is selected, two actions appear next to its label:

• Ungroup — detaches all child nodes from the group
• Tidy up — auto-arranges the nodes inside the group

Organizing large canvases

Groups pair well with the rest of the canvas tools — see Organizing your canvas. Use one group per topic, source cluster, or project phase, and give each a clear label so you can navigate by structure instead of by memory.

Use cases

• Research — group each source cluster (papers, web pages, and the chats about them) by theme so threads don't tangle.
• Writing — keep one group per chapter or section, each containing its notes, drafts, and revision chats.
• Studying — make a group per subject or week, then Tidy up before a review session to see everything at a glance.
• Content creation — separate ideation, drafting, and final-asset nodes into labeled stages of your pipeline.
• Planning — group nodes by project phase (discovery, build, launch) and move whole phases around as the plan evolves.
