There are several ways. The easiest, imo, is to use promote/demote: Create a new node. move nodes to children, move the new node, promote the nodes, delete the new node. There are many variations on promote/demote. Other ways: clone-find-all creates a group of nodes. Or mark nodes of interest and then use clone-marked-nodes or move-marked-nodes. And I believe some plugins allow you to group nodes in various ways. Scripts often "group" nodes by marking them with @something. This is the visible way. You can also group nodes with uA's. A "group" is all nodes with a particular kind of uA's. The way I use for fixing bugs or other projects is to create a "project node" to hold all nodes of interest, clone the nodes and move *the clones* them under that project node. This accomplishes two things: A. It groups all nodes related to the project in one place, which can be as permanent as you like. B. All changes to any clone affect the original source file. No need to save files individually. In short, you can group nodes with promote/demote, marks, clones, special headlines or uA's. HTH.
