Group Component
A Group is a container component.
You can place User Interface components inside a Group to make changing the appearance of your app easier.
To add components to a Group, simply drag and drop the components inside the Group.
You will see the components you added to the Group are now nestled inside the Group in the component tree.
When a group that contains UI Component(s) is moved, its content are moved with it as a unit.
This makes it easier to design complex layouts.
