Clicking "OK" causes the "external ports, device state" page to regenerate its list of ports.
So if you add a port using the checkbox, it will show up on the "external ports, device
state" page.

When you are done defining the device group then simply click the "Finish" button. This
causes the device group to get created. A known device group file is created using the
*.bsg file you specified for "Export to file", and loaded as a known device. The devices
you grouped are swapped (deleted and replaced) with a created device instance of your
new device group. Its internal connections and device state come from the known device.
External connections from the devices you grouped are recreated as connections to your
new created device group. All of this is done automatically by the wizard when you click
"Finish".
