Common questions
Split a list into groups FAQ
What happens when the list does not divide evenly?
When you choose a group size, the final group holds the remaining items. When you choose a number of groups, extra items are added one at a time so the groups stay as even as possible.
Does splitting shuffle my list?
No. The original order is preserved from the first item through the last.
Can I remove the Group 1 labels?
Yes. Open More options and choose No group labels.
Is a pasted list stored automatically?
