What are grouped objects?
Grouped objects in Canva refer to a collection of two or more individual elements that are combined into a single entity. When objects are grouped together, they act as a cohesive unit, making it easier to manipulate and work with them collectively.
Why should I use grouped objects?
Grouped objects offer several benefits when it comes to designing in Canva. Here are a few reasons why you should consider using them:
– Organizational efficiency: Grouping objects allows you to keep related elements together, making it easier to locate, move, or edit them as needed.
– Precise alignment: When objects are grouped, they align based on their collective boundaries, making it easier to maintain consistency in a design.
– Simplified editing: Grouped objects enable you to apply changes to multiple elements simultaneously. You can edit their size, position, or apply filters or effects to the entire group, saving time and effort.
How do I group objects in Canva?
Creating a group in Canva is a simple process. Follow these steps:
– Select the first object you want to group by clicking on it.
– Press and hold the Shift key on your keyboard while selecting the other objects you wish to include in the group. You can also click and drag your mouse to create a selection box and capture multiple objects within it.
– With all the desired objects selected, click on the “Group” button that appears in the toolbar at the top. Alternatively, you can right-click on the selection and choose “Group” from the context menu.
Can I ungroup objects that are already grouped?
Yes, you can easily ungroup objects that have been previously grouped. To ungroup objects in Canva, follow these steps:

How can I edit the elements within a group?
When you group objects together in Canva, you can still access and modify the individual elements. To edit elements within a group:

– Click on the “Ungroup” button in the toolbar. This will ungroup the objects temporarily, allowing you to make changes to specific elements.
