Under associated items, click on the item that you want to remove/move from the group.

Note:
- If an item is moved from one group to another, it loses its former group attributes and acquires the attributes of the current group.
- Also, if an item is moved to a group with no attributes, then it won’t be displayed in your Zoho Commerce store.
