3. After that configure the settings displayed in tabs like General, Meta Information, Images, Categories, etc.

   NOTE: many product options can be missing as they are set in the simple product added to the grouped one.

4. In the Inventory tab, most of the quantity options are gone because they are managed by the individual products collected in the grouped product.
