Grouping Objects in Adobe InDesign
How do you group objects in InDesign? This tutorial shows you how to group items, select objects inside a group, and work with grouped images, text frames and shapes.
You will also see how the Layers panel helps you understand which items have been grouped. This is especially useful when you are working with templates or documents created by someone else.
Other InDesign tutorials can be found in the InDesign online training section of our website. If you would like a structured course, you can find out more here:

This tutorial was inspired by a real training session where a client was using heavily grouped templates. Every time they clicked what looked like a simple picture or text box, they discovered it was inside a group, sometimes inside another group.
Understanding groups alongside the Layers panel makes this much easier. You can see what is grouped, select individual objects inside a group, and avoid ungrouping items unnecessarily.
