Some issues I currently have with groups is that you cannot add assets into a group and I cannot remove one asset from a group without ungrouping everything, thus losing any animation and trigger related to that group.
Are there plans to add these functions at some points? Rioght now, it feels like you need to plan way ahead before grouping so you don't have to ungroup assets.

- SarahHodge4 years agoFormer StaffHi Jean-Christophe! Thank you for your feedback. You should be able to remove an asset from a group and keep the triggers/animations as Stephan mentioned. Since it's hard to select objects from within a group on the slide, I use my timeline to grab the exact items I want to remove. The remaining group stays intact and so do the triggers and animations.
You're right that you can't just add assets into an existing group and keep the animations and triggers. That would be nice! We don't have plans for this feature yet, but you're welcome and encouraged to share your thoughts by submitting a feature request. If anything changes, I’ll share it here.

- StephanBurkhard4 years agoCommunity MemberI don't think that you can add assests into an existing group. :/
As a possible workaround for removing an asset you can try to select the desired asset and cut it out with Ctrl+X.
Afterwards paste it with Ctrl+V or Ctrl+Shift+D (Paste in the same position).
The asset should now be outside the group.
