# Working with Node Groups

## Creating/Updating a Node Group

For example, let's say we have this login flow:

<figure><img src="/files/1M7gSrXsyxqzAliiuHhC" alt=""><figcaption><p>Simple Login Flow</p></figcaption></figure>

If you multi-select these nodes (Holding Shift and dragging over them, or holding CTRL when clicking on multiple) then you can group these using the right-click context menu.

{% hint style="warning" %}
You are able to group any nodes apart from Starter (Open) nodes
{% endhint %}

<figure><img src="/files/OoqDoartAGKtqBtTzR35" alt=""><figcaption><p>Right-Click Context Menu</p></figcaption></figure>

"Grouping" these nodes removes them from the flow and in its place, will add a new Node Group.

<figure><img src="/files/zrUoNsDNMhRQhNO0j0DG" alt=""><figcaption><p>Newly Created Node Group</p></figcaption></figure>

You are able to double-click this to update the name, and nodes within it.&#x20;

<figure><img src="/files/hU1nAuXBEP7E4zleLLLq" alt=""><figcaption><p>Updating a Node Group</p></figcaption></figure>

{% hint style="danger" %}
Updating a node group results in every single instance of it getting updated, across all flows. Deleting a group from a flow does not delete it from the other ones.
{% endhint %}

## Deleting a Node Group

You are able to manage your groups from Settings > Node Groups.

From here, you are able to Edit, Clone, and Delete Groups.

## Using Node Groups across multiple flows

Once you have created a Node Group, you are able to use these across all flows, they are selectable from the node menu on the flow designer view.&#x20;
