Its child elements determine the boundaries of a group, and adjusting these elements will automatically update the group's dimensions. Groups adjust their boundaries as child elements are resized or moved. Creating a group is non-destructive, meaning it doesn't permanently merge the layers. You can always ungroup the elements later. You can create a Group by selecting layers and pressing Ctrl + G or ⌘ + G Grouping is especially useful for organizing similar items and reducing the number of layers to manage in your design. For instance, if you have several icons that need to remain together, grouping them simplifies their management. Clicking any element within the group selects the entire group, making it easy to move or edit as one unit. To select an individual element within a group, ctrl-click on it. When you resize a group, its child elements will scale proportionally, similar to vector artwork. If you need to apply constraints to control how elements structured, use a frame with Auto Layout instead. You can define Auto Layout within a group to adjust the positioning of the child layers, although it will transform the group into a Frame. You can set up Interactions for the whole group instead of individual layers. ### Frames You can use more features with Frames compared to groups. They allow you to use Auto Layout, specify resizing behavior, as well as utilize their own fills, borders, and shadows. You can create a Frame using a tool at the top bar, or selecting layers and pressing ⌘ + Opt + G {% content-ref url="/pages/Es1mKmvmpkaHDy7hQ6og" %} [Auto Layout](/classic-app-builder/component-designer/right-sidebar/auto-layout.md) {% endcontent-ref %} --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com. ## Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters: ``` GET https://docs.jetadmin.io/classic-app-builder/component-designer/frames-and-groups.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
