In LibreOffice Writer, the options you mentioned relate to working with grouped objects, such as images or shapes.
                 •  Group: This option allows you to select multiple objects, such as images or shapes, and group them together as a
                   single object. Once grouped, you can move, resize, or manipulate them as a single entity.

                 •  Ungroup: If you’ve previously grouped objects together and want to edit them individually again, you can use the
                   “Ungroup” option. This separates the grouped objects back into their original individual components.

                 •  Enter Group: This option is used to enter the editing mode of a grouped object. When you have a grouped object
                   selected, you can use “Enter Group” to access and edit the individual components of the group.

                 •  Exit Group: This option is often used when you’re editing objects within a group. When you’re inside a grouped
                   object, such as when you’ve double-clicked on a group to enter it, “Exit Group” allows you to exit the group editing
                   mode and return to the main document editing mode.


                         POSITIONING OF A GRAPHIC

                 Whenever you place any graphic in a document then the given four settings play an important role:

                 •  Anchoring
                 •  Arrangement
                 •  Alignment
                 •  Text wrapping
                 These settings can be accessed from different ways:
                 •  For both Image and Objects: Click on the Format menu in Menu bar and then select the Arrange, Wrap, Anchor
                   from the list.
                   OR
                 •  For both Image and Objects: Right-click on the graphics in the document and then select the desired option (Align
                   Objects, Arrange, Wrap, Anchor) from the context menu.
                   OR
                 •  For both Image and Objects: Click on the object and then select the desired option from the Drawing Object
                   Properties toolbar.
                   OR
                 •  For Image: You  can  use anchor  and  wrap  features of  the image from the  Position  and  Size and  Wrap tabs,
                   respectively of the Image dialog box. You can access this dialog box by selecting an image and then clicking on the
                   Format   Image   Properties option from the Menu bar or right-click on the image and select the Properties
                   option from the context menu.
                   OR
                 •  For Object: You can anchor the object from the Position and Size tab of the Position and Size dialog box. You can
                   access this dialog box by selecting an object and then select Format   Text Box and Shape   Positions and Size
                   option from the Menu bar or right-click on the object and select the Positions and Size option from the context
                   menu.

                 Anchoring

                 Anchoring refers to the  reference  point  for  the  graphics.  An image  always has an anchor point. It  specifies the
                 relationship between the graphic and the text surrounding it. Anchoring allows an image to retain its position to a
                 page, paragraph, character or frame. So whenever a page, paragraph, character or frame is aligned, the anchored
                 image moves along with it.
