So, in the online "help" for FM2019, there's a section about all the different things that you can add to a book, and there is a single entry that states "learn more about groups and how to add them," yet there is not a single explanation about what a group is/does and that statement is not even a link as the text implies. GRRR. . .
This list, as usual, is the source of help.
