How to Create and Save a Group of Tabs in Chrome

How to Create and Save Tab Groups in Chrome

On Mac

If you find that you’ve got too many tabs open while in the middle of a Google Chrome session, you can group them and minimize the ones you aren’t using. Grouping Google Chrome tabs with different colors is easy. If you’re on a Mac, all you need to do is follow the steps below.

Step 1: Hold Ctrl and click the trackpad at the same time on a tab.

Step 2: Click Add tab to new group.

Step 3: Give your group a name and then choose the color.

You’ll then need to add the tabs you want to be included in the group. To do this, the steps below are for you.

Step 1: Hold Ctrl and click the trackpad on the tab you want to move.

Step 2: Hover over Add tab to new group, and then choose the new tab.

Repeat the above two processes for every group you want to create. Alternatively, you can drag them over.

On Windows

If you’re on a Windows computer, you can instead follow the steps listed below.

Step 1: For the first step in each of the above walkthroughs, right-click on the tab you want to add to a group instead of using Ctrl + trackpad.

Step 2: The remaining processes are identical to those listed above.

Once you create the tab groups, you can just click on their names to hide or show the tabs while using Chrome.

Organize Your Tab Groups in Chrome

Once you have specified the categories for your Chrome tabs, you get a few options to organize them.

Ungroup Tab

If there’s a specific tab that you wish to remove from a group, right-click on the tab name and then choose Ungroup.

Hide Group

You can choose to hide your tab group while using Chrome. Just right-click on the tab group name and then choose Hide group.

Move to a New Window

You can choose to open a tab from a group in a new window on Chrome. Right-click on the tab and then choose Move Tab to New Window.
