So, what exactly does grouping within PowerPoint mean? And what are the ungrouping and regrouping options meant to do further? The moment you select a slide object such as a shape on a PowerPoint slide, you will see some selection handles that indicate the shape is selected. Select another shape while the first one is still selected, and you see two sets of selection handles. If you need to similarly select many shapes on a slide often, this sort of selection may become cumbersome and waste so much time. In that case, it’s best you select all the shapes you need to work with, and then combine them into one “group” of shapes.
