I think you're confusing "ungrouping" with "editing a group". You get this
warning if you try to ungroup a group that is shared among multiple cards,
but you can do what you want by:

1) Select the group you want to add the button to with the pointer tool.

2) Click "Edit Group" on the toolbar (NOT "Ungroup"). This will go "into"
the group, and anything outside of that group will be temporarily hidden.

3) Add your button to the card like normal.

4) Click the "Edit Group" button again on the toolbar to get "out" of the
group. You'll see the rest of the card objects show up at that time.


This will add the button to any cards that have the group you edited on it
(i.e. all the previous cards).
