Greetings Bill Richardson1,
The following article goes over how to create those tab groups in Safari. It looks like you can create a group from multiple tabs at one time by creating a group from the tabs in a current window. Group tabs in Safari on Mac
Create a Tab Group from the tabs in the current window
1. In the Safari app on your Mac, click the down arrow next to the Sidebar button in the toolbar.
2. If the sidebar is open, click the Add Tab Group button in the toolbar.
3. Choose New Tab Group with [number] Tabs.
4. Enter a name for the Tab Group, then press Return.
Thanks.
Bill Richardson1,
If you want to edit an existing Tab Group, the "Edit a Tab Group" part of the same article outlines how to do that: Group tabs in Safari on Mac
Edit a Tab Group
In the Safari app on your Mac, do any of the following:
• Delete a tab from a Tab Group: Open the Tab Group, place the pointer over the tab in the tab bar, then click the Close button on the left side of the tab.
• Arrange the tabs in a Tab Group: In the tab bar, drag a tab before or after another tab.
• Arrange Tab Groups: In the sidebar, drag a Tab Group before or after another Tab Group.
• Delete a Tab Group: In the sidebar, Control-click a Tab Group, then choose Delete.
• Rename a Tab Group: In the sidebar, Control-click a Tab Group, choose Rename, enter a name, then press Return.

Take care!
I haven't found one—and it's a silly limitation, given the concept behind Tab Groups and the fact that Chrome and other browsers support multiple tab selections/moves.
It can be done in iOS and iPadOS by using two fingers—but not on Mac, AFAIK.
Here's one workaround:

Also, I use and love Tabs Saver for Safari, which allows for easy saving and exporting of tabs—something that could be used to create a similar workaround:

Thanks AnnieL2. In my case, I already have the group created and I would like to add a number of new tabs to that group without needing so each on individually.
Thanks
Bill
Thanks for the information. It does work, even if it's a bit ugly. Hopefully Apple will correct this in a future update.
