Creating a Group Transaction
Overview
This guide walks you through creating a transaction group in the Transaction Tool. Transaction groups allow you to bundle multiple transactions together for sequential or parallel execution. This is useful when you need to perform multiple related operations that should be reviewed and signed together by organization members.
Prerequisites
Before you begin, ensure you have:
Organization Access: You must be connected to an organization. See Add an Organization if you haven't joined one yet.
Fee Payer Account: A Hedera account with sufficient HBAR balance to pay transaction fees.
