About This Feature
Overview
Group or Ungroup is an editing feature in WPS Presentation for Windows. It lets you combine multiple selected objects into one unit for moving, resizing, and arranging, or split a grouped object back into separate elements.
Core tasks include:
- Group objects: combine multiple selected objects into one unit for easier editing.
- Ungroup objects: split a grouped object back into separate elements for individual changes.
- Open more settings: continue from the group-related entry to additional settings for more detailed adjustments.
This feature is useful for slide layout cleanup, diagram editing, and presentation page refinement. It helps reduce repeated object-by-object adjustments and makes it easier to switch between whole-group editing and individual edits. A distinct benefit is that the command is placed in the drawing tools workflow, so you can select, group, and adjust objects in one editing flow.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation, you can use the Group command in drawing tools to group or ungroup objects and continue to more settings. | Microsoft PowerPoint supports grouping, ungrouping, and regrouping shapes, pictures, or other objects so they can be moved or resized like a single object. | Google Slides supports grouping objects so they can be used like a single object, with official guidance available for Slides object grouping. | Notion organizes content as blocks that can be rearranged and transformed, but it does not provide a slide-style object grouping workflow that directly matches presentation canvas editing. | Adobe Express supports selecting multiple design objects and using Group or Ungroup to organize layered design elements. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the group and ungroup commands fit directly into the slide editing workflow in WPS Presentation. Distinct: it is well suited to quick whole-object adjustments and then returning to individual edits on the same slide. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft provides broader official guidance that also includes regrouping. WPS keeps the workflow focused on direct slide editing steps. | Compared with WPS: Google's official help result here focuses on mobile Slides guidance. WPS provides a more direct Windows presentation editing path. | Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on page blocks and content structure rather than grouped slide objects on a presentation canvas. | Compared with WPS: Adobe Express is oriented toward design canvas and layer organization, while WPS is more directly aligned with presentation document editing. |

Overall Conclusion

Compared with the alternatives above, WPS is closely aligned with slide editing workflows, while Notion focuses on block-based content organization and Adobe Express focuses more on design canvas management.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main issue | How this feature helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Organize diagram elements | Presentation creators | Multiple shapes are scattered and easy to misalign during movement | Group related objects first, then move them together |
| 2 | Adjust slide layout | Report presenters | Titles, icons, and text boxes need to stay aligned as one section | Group related objects and resize or move them together |
| 3 | Fine-tune one element | Design collaborators | One item inside a grouped set still needs separate editing | Ungroup first, then edit each object individually |
| 4 | Build flowcharts | Teachers and trainers | Nodes and related elements need to keep their relative positions | Group related objects to reduce repeated selection |
| 5 | Open detailed settings | Advanced users | More adjustments are needed after the basic group command | Continue from More Settings for follow-up edits |
