    About this task

    You can create multiple groups for the same module and include different component instances. When you create a module, a default group called Group 1 is automatically added to the Components tab. Additionally, you can delete the group, rename the group title, and rearrange the group position by simply dragging and dropping them. If you delete the group, it will permanently remove the group and its component instances from the module, and it cannot be undone. However, existing component instances on your website will remain functional. To remove the components from your website, delete or comment out the embed code on your webpage.

    Similar to groups, you can also clone, delete, and rename component instances and move them between different groups by simply dragging and dropping. Additionally, if you delete, it will permanently remove the component instance from this module, and it cannot be undone. However, existing instances on your website will remain functional. To remove the component from your website, delete or comment out the embed code on your webpage.
