You can also add a style to an existing group by dragging it into the group icon in the left sidebar.

Note: For Sketch 60 and earlier, you need to have two or more styles in a group before they’ll appear in their own submenu.

To rename a specific style, select the style and give it a new name in the Inspector. To rename an entire group, double click on the group name in the left sidebar and add a new name to the group.

Styles are ordered alphabetically in the Components View.
