Tip
To select the objects in a group individually, select the group and then

Working in Isolation mode
Isolation mode isolates groups or sublayers so that you can easily select and edit specific
objects or parts of objects without having to ungroup the objects. When in Isolation mode, all
objects outside of the isolated group are locked and dimmed so that they aren't affected by
the edits you make.
Next, you will edit a group using Isolation mode.
