New 'Edit Group' Feature

[JessicaAmber]

If you have grouped items in the Zazzle design editor, there is a button on the right side of the screen that says 'Edit Group'. It lets you select items within the group and edit them, without Ungrouping.

Is this a new feature? I don't think I've seen it before, does anyone else have it?

I like grouping things a lot, so I appreciate this feature!

After highlighting a Group in the layers panel I kept clicking on the Edit Group button which opened the regular list of panel options and doing any of them only applied to whatever the top layer in the group was. So I was thinking it's not quite "live" and working yet. Then I realized, you're not actually supposed to click the button. Just highlight the group and then you can use any of the three options shown on the whole group at once. Very nice new feature but bizarre they made a button to "Edit Group"  that actually causes you NOT to be able to edit the group when you click it

It would be nice, if the "edit group" actually let you edit or crop the entire grouped items. I don't really see the point of it, it does the same thing when you ungroup the items and seems counterproductive.

Ooooh, thanks for sharing that tidbit. Very helpful.

You know what, I didn't think this was gonna be a very useful feature, but now that I've had a few days to use it, I stand corrected! It's SUPER helpful to be able to arrange elements of a group without having to ungroup them! You can even reorder the layers within a group - if you use the "send to back" command, it will send it to the back of the group, not the back of the design! Woo Hoo!

I also think this might be really helpful for customers. I'll often group a few layers together so that I can center the group - things like "-and-" (where the dashes are lines not text dashes) are a good example. But then I'm in a quandary as to whether to leave them grouped or not. If I ungroup them, the customer can easily mess up the placement, but if I don't un-group them, then they can't change the font or color. This totally solves that problem. 

I give it a hearty thumbs up!
