The Pro Tools track grouping functions are located at the left side of the Mix, Edit, and MIDI Editor windows in the Group List. This scrolling window contains the names of all the groups in your session, as well as a pop-up menu for accessing grouping commands. From this menu, you can select and enable groups.
By default, every session has a group named All, which includes every track in the session. The All group cannot be edited or deleted.

To the left of each name in the Group List is a letter denoting its Group ID (“a” through “z”).
To the left of each Group ID (“a” through “z”) is a symbol indicating whether that group is selected in the current window (either the Mix or Edit window). There are three types of Group symbols, as shown in the following figure:
Indicates that all members of the group are currently selected, and no members from outside the group are selected.
Indicates that only some members of the group are currently selected.
Indicates that all members of the group are currently selected, plus additional members outside the group.
The pop-up menu at the top of the Group List provides the following commands:
Executes the Track > Group command.
Provides commands to show Edit groups only, Mix groups only, or all groups (Edit, Mix, and Mix/Edit).
Suspends group behavior for all Mix and Edit groups.
Opens Group dialog to modify existing groups only.
Deletes only currently active groups.
