# Manage document groups

Document groups organize related documents under a single group. Create, edit, archive, or unarchive document groups.

## Before you begin

The default recipients for documents in a group come from the people assigned to the Teams-module hierarchy node where you create the group. Before you create a document group, set up your Teams hierarchy, move people onto the correct nodes, and click **Commit** to save the changes.

## Create a document group

1. Go to **Documents > Manage Documents**.
2. Click **New**.
3. Complete the following fields:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| **Name** | Type a descriptive name for the document group. |
| **Category** | Optional. Type a category and hit `Enter` or select an existing category from the dropdown. |
| **Description** | Optional. Type a description for the document group. |
4. Click **Continue**.
5. [Add documents](/plan-and-pay/docs/add-a-document) to the document group.

## Edit a document group

Update a document group's name, category, or description after you create it.

1. Next to the document group, click the **menu ⋮**.
2. Select **Edit**.
3. Update the **Name**, **Category**, or **Description**.
4. Click **Save**.

## Archive or unarchive document groups

1. Next to the document group, click the **menu ⋮.**
2. Select the option as appropriate:
  1. **Archive:** Makes all documents within the document group inaccessible to recipients.
  2. **Unarchive:** Makes all documents within the document group accessible to recipients who were sent documents.
