Editing

Group

Bind two or more widgets together so they move as one. Pick the widgets you want, tap Group, and from then on dragging any one of them slides the whole set across the canvas together — keeping a panel of related controls aligned while you rearrange the page.

What it does

Grouping is a layout convenience, not a new tile. It doesn't draw a card, a border, or a title of its own — it simply links existing widgets so they travel together. Drag an unselected member and every member rides along by the same offset; the relative spacing between them never changes. Everything else about each widget — its background, its controls, its taps — stays exactly as it was.

Group is not the same as Stack A Stack is a real container widget you add to the page; it owns its members, hides them from the canvas, and auto-arranges them in a row or column inside its own frame. A Group adds nothing to the page — the widgets stay independent and keep their own positions; they're just tied together for moving. Use a Stack to lay tiles out automatically; use a Group to keep a hand-placed arrangement locked together.

Make a group

Enter edit mode and tap Select in the edit bar (on a narrow iPhone it lives in the ⋯ menu as Group Widgets…).
Tap widgets to pick them, or drag a box on empty canvas to select everything inside it. Picked widgets get a solid cyan outline and a checkmark.
With two or more picked, tap Group. (The button stays disabled until at least two are selected.)

You can also start from a single widget: open its inspector, go to Arrange, and tap Group with other widgets… — that drops you into Select mode with that widget ready to pick partners.

How grouping works

When you tap Group, Flux stamps one fresh group id onto every picked widget. Membership is shared by id: any widgets carrying the same id are groupmates. Picking a widget that already belongs to another group re-homes it into the new one.

Per layout, always. A group exists only on the layout you're editing — iPhone (compact), iPad (regular), or Apple TV. Grouping on iPad never entangles your iPhone or TV arrangement; each device has its own grouping. (The membership is stored separately per variant: groupCompact, groupRegular, groupTV.)
Drag a member, move them all. Dragging any unselected member moves the whole group together. Dragging the one widget that's currently selected moves just that widget — so you can nudge a single member within the group without breaking it apart.
Marks while you work. When a grouped widget is selected, its groupmates show a dashed cyan outline so you can see the whole set at a glance. In Select mode, picked widgets show a solid cyan outline with a checkmark.
Duplicates start free. Duplicating a widget never copies its group membership — the copy starts ungrouped.

It's a moving aid, not a frame A group has no background, color, or title. If you want a visible titled panel behind a set of controls, place a plain widget (or an image/SVG) behind them as a backdrop and group everything together so the backdrop and its controls move as one.

Ungroup

To break a group apart on the current layout:

From a member's inspector → Arrange → Ungroup (it shows the member count, e.g. "Ungroup (3 widgets)") dissolves that widget's whole group.
In Select mode, if your pick includes any grouped widget, an Ungroup button appears; it dissolves every group represented in the pick — all of their members, whether picked or not.

Ungrouping only affects the layout you're editing; the other devices' groupings are untouched.

At a glance

Action	What it does
Select	Enter pick mode. Tap widgets or drag a box to choose them.
Group	Tie the picked widgets (2+) together on the current layout. They move as one from then on.
Ungroup	Dissolve the group on the current layout, leaving each widget independent and in place.
Drag (unselected member)	Move the entire group together.
Drag (selected member)	Move just that one widget, repositioning it within the group.

There is no "Group" tile to add Group isn't in the Add Widget list — it's an arrange action on widgets you've already placed. (Flux carries an internal group widget kind, but it isn't an addable widget and renders nothing on its own.)
