# Group's operations

### New group

<figure><img src="/files/fGKJu3Ja5RsNYlbQ2lzB" alt="" width="302"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

Use the New Group button to create a new group.

* If we have only 1 selected layer, a new empty group will be added.
* If we have more than 1 selected layer, all of them will be moved to under the new group.

### Merge

If a group has more than 1 layer, it is mergeable. To merge a group, [activate the contextual menu](/timeline-and-layers/layer-operations.md#contextual-menu), and select Merge.

After merging, the group is still there, however, all of its children are now merged into 1 layer.
