(For example, if you linked "Poodle Owners" as a subgroup within the group "Dog Friends," the members of "Poodle Owners" would also now be members of the parent group, "Dog Friends.") If you choose to later unlink the subgroup, those members will still remain in the parent group.   ![](https://support.tradewing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-12-2026-04-27-09-3440-PM.png?width=1919&height=750&name=image-png-Jan-12-2026-04-27-09-3440-PM.png)   2\) Click "Select a group"   ![](https://support.tradewing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-12-2026-04-33-38-8957-PM.png?width=1919&height=786&name=image-png-Jan-12-2026-04-33-38-8957-PM.png)   3\) Click on the group(s) you'd like to link   ![](https://support.tradewing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-12-2026-04-49-17-8758-PM.png?width=1919&height=778&name=image-png-Jan-12-2026-04-49-17-8758-PM.png)   4\) Click "Add"   ![](https://support.tradewing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-12-2026-04-52-57-0388-PM.png?width=1919&height=783&name=image-png-Jan-12-2026-04-52-57-0388-PM.png)   5\) The parent group now has a "Subgroups" tab on the group page where you can view and join the subgroups.   ![](https://support.tradewing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Jan-12-2026-04-56-24-6999-PM.png?width=1920&height=945&name=image-png-Jan-12-2026-04-56-24-6999-PM.png)                 - [Getting Started](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/getting-started) - [People](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/people) - [Tradewing AMS - Admin Site](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/tradewing-ams-admin-site#main-content) - [Website Builder](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/tradewing-ams-admin-site#website-builder) - [Membership Types](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/tradewing-ams-admin-site#membership-types) - [Community - Admin Site](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/community-admin-site) - [Groups](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/groups) - [Events](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/events#main-content) - [Videoconferencing Feature in Tradewing](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/events#videoconferencing-feature-in-tradewing) - [Profile and Personal Settings](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/profile-and-personal-settings) - [Community Engagement](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/community-engagement) - [Sponsorships](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/sponsorships#main-content) - [For Sponsors](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/sponsorships#for-sponsors) - [Settings](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/settings) - [For Members](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/for-members) - [Companies](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/companies) - [Integrations](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/integrations) - [Analytics](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/analytics) - [Intuto Learning Management System](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/intuto-learning-management-system) - [Tradewing LLC Mobile App](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/tradewing-llc-mobile-app) - [Financials](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/financials#main-content) - [Invoicing and Receipts](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/financials#invoicing-and-receipts) - [Other Items](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/financials#other-items) - [Promo Codes](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/financials#promo-codes) - [Shopping Cart](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/shopping-cart) - [Communications](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/communications) - [Meetings](https://support.tradewing.com/knowledge-base/meetings) - [Our Product](http://www.tradewing.com/terms-of-service) - [Customer Stories](http://www.tradewing.com/terms-of-service) - [Why Tradewing](http://www.tradewing.com/terms-of-service) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://support.tradewing.com/hs-fs/hubfs/27618f99-a855-4f4e-9a9c-9aa895c37630.png?width=22&height=24&name=27618f99-a855-4f4e-9a9c-9aa895c37630.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://www.tradewing.com/) Tradewing Knowledge Base Copyright © 2025, Tradewing LLC
