Various operations to manage color groups
Following operations can be performed to manage color groups.
• Add a swatch to a color group: Select the color group. Select a swatch and drag-and-drop it inside the color group.
• Duplicate color group: You can duplicate from the context menu as well from the flyout. Right-click on a color
group and select Duplicate Color Group. All swatches inside the color group get duplicated along with the color
group. Swatches across different color groups are not created with same names, to avoid confusion.
• Ungroup color group: Ungrouping can be done from the context menu as well from the flyout. Right-click on a
color group and select Ungroup Color Group. On ungrouping, all swatches inside the group move to the root that
is outside the color group.
• Rename color group: Color Groups can be renamed by using the Color Group Options option in the context/flyout
menu. Double-click a group to edit the color group name. You can also inline edit the color group.
• Delete color group: Select a color group, right-click and select Delete Color Group. Or, select the color group and
select Delete Color Group from the flyout menu.
Note: When you delete a color group, all the swatches within the color group get deleted.

operations like creation, dragging swatches, color groups can be performed across all the different views inside the
swatches panel.
