Section groups are sub folders within a notebook folder. So, if you
have two section groups in your Notebook:

c:\Notebooks\Example Notebook
c:\Notebooks\Example Notebook\Sub Note book 1
c:\Notebooks\Example Notebook\Sub Note book 2

The section files are in the relevant folder.

The advantage of using section groups comes if you have a very big
notebook. I have one which I'm developing for Excel notes. At the
moment I have three section groups which allows me to place sections
into to most relevant section group. If I didn't have section groups
there would be too many sections across the top of the page.

BTW you can have section groups at lower levels. Navigation around
them is easy.
