Groups & Multi-Selection

Create a visual group container, title/lock it, drag-select multiple nodes, and execute group actions such as power-on.

CANVAS ORGANIZATION

Organize and operate groups of systems

Group containers provide a named visual boundary for related systems and can also be locked to protect their placement. Multi-selection lets you select several canvas objects at once and apply supported actions to the selected set.

Use groups for organization and multi-selection for operations; they are related tools but do not represent the same thing.
