Success Criteria

2. Ungroup controls

Entry: Developer Tools tab → Ungroup

  2. Select the grouped control set.
  3. Click Ungroup.
  4. The controls return to separate items.

Success Criteria

  • Visual result: the grouped set is split back into individual controls.
  • Next action available: you can select, move, or edit each control separately.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: if the grouped object is not selected first, the Ungroup command may not take effect.

3. Edit a single control inside a group

Entry: Double-click a control inside the group

  • Next action available: after editing, you can continue working with the full group.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: if the double-click does not land on the target control, the whole group may remain selected instead.
  • Environment note: this requires an existing grouped set of controls.
