  • To add a group, right-click in the
    Links
    tab and select
    Add Group
    .
  • To rename a group, right-click the title of the group and select
    Rename Group
    . Enter the new name for the group.
  • To delete a group, right-click the title of the group and select
    Delete Group
    . Select
    Yes
    to confirm deletion.
    note
    When you delete a group, you also delete any links in that group. If you want to keep 1 or more links, drag them to another group.
  • To move a link from 1 group to another, select it and drag it onto or following the title of the group where you want to move it.
