Hello all
I'm just starting to learn Xpresso and I need some guidance.
Is there any good website that has resources for Xpresso?
I've watched some tutorials and I understand the basics of it but I need help with vocabulary such as xgroup...

Oh
If anyone can tell me what xgroup is and why/when do we convert to xgroup, I will really appreciate. :D

Thanks!

Xgroups are just groups. They can help to make a cleaner layout and they are easy to duplicate.

Lets assume you made a setup of 10 nodes to do something, and you need this setup several times, then you could convert to an xgroup before copying.

Hey Thanks

So if I need to copy this setup(10 nodes) 3 times, i could convert them to xgroup and copy only 3 times instead of copying 30 times?

I have a lot of question marks floating around my head, if you can direct me to a good website, I really really appreciate it!
