I understand grouping and ungrouping - from other programs. I'm thinking it must work differently here. I think the problem must be in working in SVG and then exporting as a png, and then importing in the png file to change it slightly and it will not ungroup. What are the steps please - the logic. e.g. do I always keep the SVG file and only make changes to that? Although, for regrouping that hasn't worked either. I did read the archived thread, but unfortunately it was no help.

Yes. PNG files have all the artwork baked into pixels, SVG stands for Scalable Vector Graphic, which can retain the objects and groups.
Thank you kindly!
