+## Group labels
+
+Group labels specify which [groups][structure-groups] the issue belongs to.
+
+Examples include:
+
+- ~"group:control"
+- ~"group:editor"
+
+These labels should be mutually exclusive. If an issue belongs to multiple
+groups, the most relevant should be used.
+
+Groups are nested beneath a particular stage, so only one stage label and one group label
+should be applied to a single issue. You can find the groups listed in the
+[Product Categories pages][product-categories]. For example, ~"group:control" and
+~"group:framework" labels can be applied to issues related to the [Manage stage][manage-stage].
