_Field Groups_ are simply a convenience to work with multiple [[Edge Fields|edge fields]] at once. In `Settings > Edge Fields`, you can create new groups and add fields to them. Scroll down past your [[Edge Fields]] to see the list of groups. ![[Edge Field Groups Settings.png]] > [!TIP] > This is a many-to-many relationship, i.e. a group can hold many fields, and a field can belong to many groups. By default, Breadcrumbs comes with 5 groups, representing the directions: "up", "same", "down", "next", "previous". If you add a new [[Edge Fields|edge field]], like `parent`, for example, you could put that field into the `ups` group, because it semantically points "upward" from the child note to the parent. Similar to the [[Edge Fields|edge fields]], you can add/remove groups as you wish. They represent as much or as little as you want them to. They're just a way to select multiple edge fields at once. They're mainly used in the [[Views]], to decide which fields are included.
