# Manage groupings

Once you have [created a grouping](/totara-20/docs/create-groupings), you can edit the grouping's name, description or ID number by following these steps:

1. Within a course, go to *Course administration > Users > Groups* from the **Administration** block.
2. Select the **Grouping** tab.
3. Click the cog icon (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/image-1634217864008.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T06%3A41%3A50Z&se=2026-11-06T07%3A41%3A50Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Pgy%2Fb9E8lJAderYWouJQ6%2BNzZflJku1P%2FmKHc8wao4I%3D)) alongside a grouping to edit it or the cross icon (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/image-1634217864047.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T06%3A41%3A50Z&se=2026-11-06T07%3A41%3A50Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Pgy%2Fb9E8lJAderYWouJQ6%2BNzZflJku1P%2FmKHc8wao4I%3D)) to delete it.

## Add or remove groups in a grouping

To manage the groups that are part of a grouping, follow these steps:

1. Click the grouping icon (![](https://cdn.document360.io/a007399b-031e-436b-999a-528240e16f58/Images/Documentation/image-1634217864098.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-06T06%3A41%3A50Z&se=2026-11-06T07%3A41%3A50Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=Pgy%2Fb9E8lJAderYWouJQ6%2BNzZflJku1P%2FmKHc8wao4I%3D)).
2. You can then select groups from the **Potential members** column and click the **Add** button to add them, or select groups from the **Existing members** column and click the **Remove** button to remove them.

If you wish to select multiple groups to add or remove at once then first click and hold the **Ctrl** button on your keyboard before selecting all the groups you want to add or remove.

Please note that the grouping option appears by default only in activities that support group modes. Groupings are available for all course activities and resources except for [seminars](/totara-20/docs/what-are-seminars).
