Marked nodesFrom (1) options choose (2) groups and (3) group selections.
Now that the nodes are grouped you can see a double outline. If you want to add changes to the graphics style of the group double click on the outline to open properties.
You can add the name of the group.

The name label can be visible or not. Choose the colour and the position in which it will appear.

To get into a specific node first select the group then select the node in the group.
