# How to create and edit sidebar groups?

Groups contain multiple sidebar elements in an order that you specify.

On the left side of the admin area, click " *Groupings* *" (1) in the sidebar*. Here, you'll see a list of all existing groupings.

## Create a Group

To create a new group, click the *"Create Group* " button (2) in the upper-right corner. To edit an existing group, click on the existing group. In both cases, the same editing window will open.

## Edit Grouping

In the editing window, give the group a *title* (1) that will help you find it later.

You can also customize the *link suffix* (2) here.

Under *"Sidebar Elements*," you can *create* new *elements and link them to the group* (3) or *select* existing elements (4) that you want to assign to the group.

## Save and publish grouping

When you *save* (1) a grouping, it is not yet published but is saved with the status " *Draft*."

If you're satisfied and would like to actually publish it, click " *Publish* " (2) in the same spot.
