# Group

This node is a styleable container. It can have other visual nodes nested inside of it.

<div className="ndl-image-with-background l">

The <span className="ndl-node">Group</span> is the most essential node when it comes to creating layouts and arranging visual elements.

**Group** nodes are typically used to layout children by stacking (the default), but can also be used to simply provide margins and padding to a group of visual nodes. To learn more about **Group** nodes check out the [Layouting guide](/docs/guides/user-interfaces/layout).
