Cleaner Groups
Groups
A group is simply a collection of cleaners. Groups provide a great way to organize cleaners for a specific task or project. There are two types of groups: built-in and custom. Built-in groups cannot be edited. Custom groups can be edited.
Within a custom group, you can specify which cleaners are included, their order, at (optionally, their color). The cleaners in a group can be any of the built-in cleaners or any custom cleaners you have created.
