The Group node is useful when you want to perform any logic or change the property of the group dynamically on some event.
This node provides you with all properties that can be changed in a group.
To get the group node first group the multiple elements present on the page or mobile canvas together and then select the group created with the selector toggle, then right-click on the group, arsenal panel of blup designer opens up, select the edit in blup lightning option from the dialog box, this will generate the group Node in blup Lightning.
{% hint style="info" %} Note: the group node doesn’t have the onclick output node point so if you wanted to perform any logic when the user clicks on the group you have to do it through the rectangle present inside the group. {% endhint %}
