# Create node groups
You can organize the nodes in your Script Graphs and State Graphs with node groups.
![An image of the Graph window. The Graph Inspector is open, and a group named "Compare gold" is selected. The group is set to the default black color, doesn't have a comment, and contains a Set Variable node that retrieves the value of the Gold Saved variable, a Comparison node, and an Integer node with a value of 5.](images/vs-groups.png)
## Create a new group
To create a new group:
1. [Open the graph](vs-open-graph-edit.md) where you want to create a new group.
1. In an empty area of the Graph Editor, Ctrl+click (macOS: Cmd+click) and drag to create a selection.
1. Release the mouse to create the group.
After you create a group, you can:
- [Change the group name](#change-a-group-name)
- [Add a comment to the group](#add-a-comment-to-a-group)
- [Change the color of the group](#change-the-color-of-a-group)
- [Resize the group](#resize-a-group)
- [Move the group](#move-a-group)
## Change a group name
To change the name of the group in your graph:
2. In the group header, click **Group**.
1. Enter a new name for the group.
1. Press **Enter** to save your changes.
## Add a comment to a group

1. In the **(Comment)** field in the Graph Inspector, enter comments or information about the group.

## Move a group
To move a group and its nodes:
1. Click and drag the group's header to a new location in the Graph Editor.
> [!NOTE]
> You can also move a group without moving any of the nodes inside, but the required input changes based on your chosen control scheme. For more information, see [Choose a control scheme](vs-control-schemes.md)
## Next steps
After you've created a node group, you can [add nodes to your Script Graph](vs-add-node-to-graph.md), [create and add variables](vs-add-variable-graph.md), or [add a Subgraph](vs-nesting-add-subgraph.md).
You can also add a [Sticky Note](vs-sticky-notes.md) to add comments to a graph.
