LiveGroup Conversion

A LiveGroup node can be converted to a Group node, which brings the contents of the LiveGroup into the current recipe and stops it from updating from the selected source. A Group node can also be converted to a LiveGroup node at any time. A Group that is converted to a LiveGroup is replaced by an editable LiveGroup node with the same contents that the Group node contained.

A LiveGroup node doesn’t need to be editable to convert it. To convert a LiveGroup node to a Group node, right-click the LiveGroup node, or click the wrench icon in the Parameters tab, and select Convert to Group from the menu. The LiveGroup node is replaced by a Group node with the same parameters and contents, with the exception of the source parameters, which is not retained.
