+====== Macro Group Activation Actions ======
 Macro Groups can be configured to be activated in various ways (such as from the Status Menu or a hot key).  The *Activate Macro Group* action lets you control the activation explicitly (such as from another Macro Group palette).
@@ Line 15: / Line 17: @@
 Remember that all macros within a Macro Group that is not active will not be available for use.  Also, remember that if you hide a palette, that is also deactivating the macro group.
+(i) Note that activation state is a transient state, and is not the same as enabled state (which is semi-permanent and displays in the editor).  This action will not change the display in the editor even when it activates or deactivates the macro group.  See [[:Macro Activation]] for more information.
