# Group

Group shape can be used to visually tie together shapes in the process, to separate functionality into logical parts within the Process, optionally giving each group a name or description. While sharing a lot of similarities to a Scope shape, group shape is purely visual element and cannot be used for error handling, obtaining a named result, or disposing the data after the scope ends, unlike Scope shape.
