# Grouping or Hiding Objects

You can collapse branches in the schematic into a group to reduce clutter in the schematic. You can also temporarily hide an object or objects in the schematic to see different results, for example.

To group a branch:

1. Select an object with children in the schematic view.
2. Right-click the parent object, and choose Group to collapse the selected object and all its children into a group.

   A blue group node appears in the schematic to represent the entire group.

   NoteCollapsed groups cannot act as parents, but you can parent nodes to a group.
3. To uncollapse the group, right-click the Group node, and select Ungroup.

NoteGroups created in the Schematic view are not related to groups created in the Priority Editor.

To hide and object or objects:

1. Select and object or multiple objects in the schematic view.
2. Right-click the object, and choose Hide.

   (hidden) appears after the object name in the schematic.

3. To unhide the object, right-click the object, and select Show.
