How-to Guide
1. Group multiple objects
Entry path: Open a presentation in editing mode → Select multiple objects → Drawing Tools tab → Group
- Open the target presentation and make sure the current slide is in editing mode.
- Hold Ctrl and select the multiple objects you want to manage together.
- Open the related Drawing Tools tab at the top of the window.
- Click Group to combine the selected objects.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: the selected objects appear as one grouped selection.
- What you can do next: you can move, resize, or continue adjusting the grouped object as one unit.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: if only one object is selected, grouping will not work as expected.
- Environment note: the file must be editable and the objects must be selectable.
2. Ungroup objects
Entry path: Select a grouped object → Drawing Tools tab → Group/Ungroup related command
- Select the object group that has already been grouped in the presentation.
- Open the related Drawing Tools tab.
- Click the Ungroup option under the group-related command.
- Select the separated objects as needed and continue editing them individually.
Success Criteria
- Interface result: the original grouped object is split into separate objects.
- What you can do next: each object can be moved, edited, or deleted on its own.
Tips While Using
- Common mistake: if you do not select a grouped object first, ungrouping cannot be applied directly.
- Environment note: ungrouping only works on objects that are already grouped.

- Find the Group/Ungroup related entry in the presentation editing interface.

Success Criteria

- What you can do next: you can continue adjusting related settings based on the current object state on the slide.
Tips While Using
