| <h1 class="topictitle1">Adding groups</h1> |
| <div><p>When you create a group, it automatically contains a content model. |
| The content model is a representation of any data that can be grouped together |
| by the group, such as elements, element references, and group references.</p> |
| <div class="section"><p></p> |
| <p>The following instructions were written for the Resource perspective, but |
| they will also work in many other perspectives.</p> |
| <p>To |
| add a group, follow these steps:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>Open your XML schema in the XML schema editor.</span></li> |
