(images, text, pop-ins, art, etc.) and maintain the grouping status as
desired.

just below the Lock icon. The icon will turn green when grouping is
enabled
o

group, click on one of the objects in the group to make your edits. A
dashed green line will appear around the group.

group will maintain its integrity while you edit the one object.

Items of note:
·
The concept of groups within groups, or nested groups, is not supported with this functionality.
·
Groups cannot be aligned, distributed, or flipped, and that functionality has been disabled for groups in the Control Panel.
·
eDesign Help will be updated to include all the Grouping functionality, and a new Grouping tutorial in next day or so!
