Steps To Create group Tabs  In Google Chrome

To check out this feature, one must have more than one tab opened in Chrome. Once you have opened all the tabs that you need, proceed with the following steps to group them into the separate or same category. 

• Now choose and right-click on one of the tabs. Click on the option stating – ‘Add to New Group’ from the drop-down menu that is displayed.
• A colored circle or an opaque circle will appear right next to the tab. When the user would click either the tab or the circle, the tab group menu can be accessed. This is the menu where the user can add a name to the grouped set of tabs, change or add color code to it. This  New Tab can be further added into the group or can be ungrouped from all the tabs present in the group, and to close all the tabs that are currently in the group.

Note: This feature is usually enabled by default in the browser.

• As mentioned before, the opaque-colored circle is to denote the grouping of tabs. This is replaced by the assigned name once the tab group is named, for the ease of access and identification of different groups. And finally, choose the ‘Add to new group’ option to create a new group.

• For this one simple trick is to use the different colors provided by default, that is, the user can choose one color for a group from the eight default colors present. This is very useful to prevent naming each group and instead just saving them based on different color schemes!
• Add a new tab to an existing group
• Now that we know to create a new group of tabs in Chrome, let us continue with the steps involved in adding new tabs to a previously created group.
• Right-click on the tab and from the drop-down menu, choose the ‘Add Tab to new group’ option. Choose the ‘Add To Existing Group’ option and click on the group’s name to group it along with the other tabs.

Another alternative method to add tabs to an existing group is by simply dragging the tab over the group in which it must be added, wait till the color assigned to the group appears or engulfs the tab, and then release it. Now, the tab would be added to the group. There are four options available along with these, they are:

• Ungroup
• Close group
• Move group to new Window

The ungroup option can be used to dismantle or dissolve the entire group as such whereas the Close group option can be used to close a particular group with all the tabs together. These options help the user to control the tabs in each group as one can easily group or ungroup tabs and even access them in a whole new window to prevent chaos.

Remove The Tab From A Group

The once grouped tabs can be removed from the groups if required by these steps:

• Right-click on the tab to be removed and choose the ‘Remove from group’ option. This option will separate the tab from the group and the user can add it later again. Alternatively, the user can also simply drag the particular tab from the group and place it in an empty section of the tab bar.
