I have a question - for some stupid reason I decide to make several
components into a group - it made sense at the time... Then, many
actions later, I discover that it was a mistake - can I un group them
back into individual components?


I see Leon explained how to do it, just wanted to mention "layers". You can
put items/components/groups on layers which can be turned on ot off. They
provide another way to group things, one that I find handy. For example,
suppose simple panel doors: rails, stiles and panels could each be assigned
to a different layer allowing any or all of the three ro be visible or
hidden. That ability can be very handy when working on a complex structure.
I often put dimensions and notes on separate layers.

When creating layers, I name them with leading numbers so as to arrange them
in a logical manner, eg...

10 DOORS (group)
11 stiles
12 rails
13 panels
20 more stiff
30 still more stuff
98 notes
99 dimensions
