# Organize project objects with groups

You can bundle objects into groups to organize the project in a smarter way. You can categorize objects by PV area, parcels, exclusion zones, roads or even different scenarios. Groups can be nested into sub categories for a flexible workflow.

## Object groups and nested groups

Show and hide whole groups at a time for a quicker project area overview. Select multiple objects by holding shift and right click to create a group. You can create groups within groups if needed.

## Import/Export project files with subgroups remained

To make a seamless switch between your GIS tools and Glint Solar, importing and exporting project files (kml, geojson) keeps all subgroups intact.

## Map export adapts to groups

Map export is a popular and powerful feature! Right click in the map and select 'Export map view' to create a professional looking print of the project. The displayed project objects will show in the legend list and will respect the groups.
