They function like folders. End users can click the group in the Self Help widget to view the content inside it. ![sh_groups.gif](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/sh_groups.gif) You can create a group inside another group, called a **nested group**. Create up to 2 levels of groups in a Self Help segment. ![sh_nested_group.png](https://cdn.document360.io/a268766e-d74d-4619-9613-e2472f809ffb/Images/Documentation/sh_nested_group.png) The way you group content depends on your requirements. However, the following are some ideas for how you can group content: - **By topic:** Group together content related to the same subject. For instance, all content about a specific feature in your application could be in a single group. - **By content type:** Create separate groups for Flows, links, articles, and more. - **By difficulty:** If your content varies in complexity, consider creating groups such as **Beginner, Intermediate,** and **Advanced** to cater to different proficiency levels. > [!NOTE] > Info > > You can have up to 200 groups in a Self Help segment. To configure this count, contact [support@whatfix.com](mailto:support@whatfix.com?subject=Change%20the%20maximum%20number%20of%20groups%20in%20a%20Self%20Help%20segment&body=Hi%20team%2C%0A%0APlease%20change%20the%20maximum%20number%20of%20groups%20in%20a%20Self%20Help%20segment%20to%20_____%0A%0AENT%20ID%3A%20%0A%0ARegards%2C). --- ## Create and add content to a Self Help group There are several methods to create a Self Help group and add content to it.
