Object grouping in Kicad 6.0.0?

In Kicad’s release page there exists a new feature noted “* Object grouping (Joshua Redstone)” ,
Under “PCB and footprint editing”.

Anyone knows what it does? For the last few years there have been requests to make a group of FPs and traces locked to move/rotate/flip together. Is this it?

Cheers,
Matan

You can select a bunch of objects on the PCB, then do a Right Click with the mouse and select Grouping / Group from the pop-up menu. After that all objects in the group are kept together (for example while moving). Groups can be nested, and “ungrouped”. A group can also be Entered, and then you can move individual items in a group.
