Usage:

Create Group

It allows you create a group with selected objects. You can add all kinds of modifiers to the group.

You can also add geometry node modifiers to the group.

If you add objects that are not based on mesh(such as camera, light, empty...), you will see a warning.

This means regular modifiers won't work on these objects, only geometry node modifiers will work on these objects.

Dissolve Group

It will dissolve the selected groups into individual objects. You can dissolve multiple group at the same time.

Delete Group

It will delete the selected groups and their group members. 

Be aware that shortcut 'X' will only delete the group, it can't delete the group members. Please use the operator on pie menu or n panel.

Add Selection to Group

It will add selected objects into the active group.(If the selection includes groups, they will be added into active group as well.)

Duplicate Group

It will duplicate selected groups. The shortcuts for constraint is the same as copying in Blender:

• X - constraint on X-axis
• Y - constraint on Y-axis
• Z - constraint on Z-axis
• Ctrl - snap
• B - snap

Be aware that short cut 'shift + D' won't work correctly on duplicating groups. Please use the operator on pie menu or n panel.

Apply Group

It will apply each selected groups into one object. Applying the modifiers is optional.

Fix Group

When you add some objects that don't have UV maps. It may cause some shading problem. Fix group operator will fix the shading issue.(If fix group didn't fix the shading issue, you need to remove the object that has a shading problem and add it back to group.)

Usually, the group members' parent is the group, if you accidentally change the members' parent you can use the fix group to set their parent to group again.

Material Override

It will override the group's material.

Adding a new material on the material slot won't change the group's material. Make sure you use the material override to assign the material to group.

Bounds Setting

It will show the bounds of the group. Bounds types can be changed in n panel.

Edit Group

It will go to the group edit mode, where you can edit group members. You can only edit one group at a time.

Add Selection to Group(Edit Mode)

It will add the selected objects(include group) into the editing group.

Remove Selected Group Members

It will remove selected group members from group.

Remove From Local View

It will remove selected objects from local view(if it's in local view).

Select All Group Members

It will deselect other objects and select all group members.

Use Instance/Non-Instance

Every group member has a status to show if they are instance.

Use instance/non-instance can set members instance type into instance/non-instance.

If group member has a procedural material, It may not work correctly. But you can change It's instance type into instance to fix it.

The usual modifiers won't work on instance, but geometry node modifier still work on them.

Also, if you apply a group, the instance won't be applied.

Objects that are not based on mesh are defaultly set as instance. Don't  set them as non-instance, or they won't show in group.
