Create Group SetsThere's usually no reason to create a single group in a course, so Canvas requires you to create a group set in order to create a group. Go to the People page in Canvas. Click + Group Set in the top right of the page. Define a name for the group set. (Example: name of the assignment “Group Presentations”) Allow or disallow students signing themselves up for groups. You can require group members to all be in the same section if necessary. Define the number of groups created and, if necessary, limit the group size. Allow or disallow the system to define a student group leader. Click Save.
This will create the group set with the number of groups defined by you in step 5. Each group will be called the name of the group set with a number appended to the end. When you create a group set, you will automatically be navigated to the tab in the People page for that group set. To get back to it again, click on the tab with the same name as the group set that was created. Edit Group SetClick three dots next to the + Group button in the top right of the correct group set tab within the People page. Click Edit. Make the changes you need to make and click Save.
