ancestry groupings
Can we bulk add matches to a group?
Why I'm asking is that ancestry will be changing how matches are displayed and accuracy of matches and we will lose matches under 8cms. I know they are very distant, if they are real matches, but I don't want to lose them. If we have them sorted into a group we can keep them. I just don't want to do it one at a time.

I don't know of a way to do it, but would be interested if anyone does know of one.

If I find anything I'll let you know.

Not bulk adding, but you could search by surname (say) and then click on a group.
I have looked at every single match (and eliminated 25.9k of them) and it took MONTHS. But there are some very low matches with useful trees. And I don't appear to have much genetic material in common with my favourite ancestors.

I plan to filter by shared data - 6 to 8 cM's, then select those with trees and add them all to a group or put in a comment (since I am currently maxed out on groups so I would have to merge two existing ones to make room for a new one). But I have no idea how long that would take! Maybe it won't be worth it.

there is no way to bulk add to a group. You have to do it one by one

Will they still be there after Ancestry discount 7cm and lower even if they are put into groups?

Anything with a group, a note or a message will remain.
It sounds as if you will lose common ancestors unless you have marked them. The bummer is those with no trees. I have found a dozen or more that I initially rejected, subsequently putting up trees which demonstrate (at least a potential) relationship. I have revisited all my 6-8 matches, but this would be an impossible task for anyone starting from scratch now.

They'll show if you've colour coded them.
