Suppose you have several shapes that you want to treat the same but they're scattered throughout your project, encapsulated on different layers. Rather than expanding each inline canvas and individually selecting them each time you want to edit them, you can highlight them in the layer dialog, and right click, then select Add to group. It will prompt you for a group name. Type a name for a new, or existing group and hit return.

Adding a layer to a group when it's already in previous group will remove it from the previous group
