 Note the name change, similar to [`allCols`](ColumnSelectors.md#cols), this makes it clearer that you're selecting
 columns inside the group, 'lifting' them out.
 
-##### Column Name Filters {collapsible="true"}
+**On [Column Groups](DataColumn.md#columngroup):** `except {}`
+
+This variant can be used to exclude some nested columns from a [Column Group](DataColumn.md#columngroup) in the selection.
+In contrast to `allColsExcept`, this function does not 'lift' the columns out of the group, preserving the structure.

+So:
+
