Icon Grouping

Icon Grouping is a means of reducing the on-screen icons and thereby allowing more of your program to be accessible on screen.

Similarly to Code Folding, if you have a section of code that you know works well then it can really help to tidy it out the way temporarily while you work on another section of the code.

A collection of icons in a group can be easily copied and pasted to various parts of your program or used to move a section of code around in a program.

How to group and ungroup icons

Begin by clicking and dragging to highlight multiple icons or holding control and clicking to select each icon. Then right-click and select Group Icons from the menu. Note that icons selected must be consecutive (all next to each other) in the flowchart, if there are any gaps then you will not be able to group.

To ungroup a Group Icon, simply right-click the icon and select Ungroup Icons from the menu.
