<div align="left"><img src="https://3790197535-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MQrCmGZz5honeHZINyR%2F-MQw5XX8KD2Om8Lm_Hi7%2F-MQw7SNwJVrbI7HPRIal%2FIcons-A_11.png?alt=media&#x26;token=d962025a-f78c-4539-8469-e9d3f10fa4bb" alt=""></div>

Disables or enabled a group (Win+Mac: Shift+B).

When a group is being disabled, all layers, contained in the group, will be disabled. When enabling again, the previous visibility state of every layer will be remembered. When moving layers into a disabled group, they will get disabled. When moving layers out of a disabled group, they will be enabled again.

You can have any layer in the group selected to enable/disable the group using this function.

Alternatively, the eyeball icon of the group header can be enabled/disabled, and then *Refresh Layout* be executed to enable/disable the group.

If you have no layer selected and you execute *Enable / Disable Group*, all groups at the upper level will be disabled (in case at least one group was enabled before) or enabled (in case no group was enabled). Just be aware that, when disabling all upper groups, *Workflower* won't remember which group used to be disabled before. So when you execute *Enable / Disable Group* again **all** groups will be enabled again.

In the *Icons Settings*, you can enable icons for enabled layers in disabled groups. Be aware that, to add the icons, layers will have to be renamed, which may take a little bit.

### Enable / Disable a Group by Shift+Double-Clicking

**(Added in** [**version 2.0**](https://workflower.constantin-maier.com/releases#2-0)**)**

You can also enable or disable a group simply by *Shift*+double-clicking on the group header.

For this to work, you need the *WQ* plug-in installed that you find in your installation files. For installation instructions, please read the user guide chapter on [Installation](https://workflower.constantin-maier.com/installation#step-1-installing-the-script).

Please note that by *Shift*+double-clicking the group header, you can only enable/disable the group if you have a single group header selected. If you want to enable/disable multiple groups or you want to enable/disable all groups, you have to execute *Workflower's Enable / Disable Group* function.

## Solo Group

<div align="left"><img src="https://3790197535-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MQrCmGZz5honeHZINyR%2F-MQw5XX8KD2Om8Lm_Hi7%2F-MQw7VditeaBc09uhCxz%2FIcons-A_12.png?alt=media&#x26;token=910481d9-cc1c-4d7a-8d57-fb2513c35ec2" alt=""></div>

Solos or unsolos a group (Win: Ctrl+Alt+D, Mac: macControl+D).

If a group has been soloed and individual layers will then be unsoloed, *Workflower* will remember that they have been unsoloed, so when *Refresh Layout* is executed, these layers will stay unsoloed. When moving layers into a soloed group, they will get soloed. When moving layers out of a soloed group, they will be unsoloed again.

You can have any layer in the group selected to solo/unsolo the group using this function.

Alternatively, the solo icon of the group header can be enabled/disabled, and then *Refresh Layout* be executed to solo/unsolo the group.

If no layer is selected and *Solo Group* is executed, all layers and groups will be unsoloed.

### Solo / Unsolo a Group by Ctrl/Cmd+Shift+Double-Clicking

For this to work, you need the *WQ* plug-in installed that you find in your installation files. For installation instructions, please read the user guide chapter on [Installation](https://workflower.constantin-maier.com/installation#step-1-installing-the-script).

Please note that by *Ctrl/Cmd+Shift*+double-clicking the group header, you can only solo/unsolo the group if you have a single group header selected. If you want to solo/unsolo multiple groups or you want to unsolo all groups/layers, you have to execute *Workflower's Solo Group* function.
