--add a basepart to the group to be tracked (optionally with custom data)
group:add(workspace.ExamplePart, "custom data")

--create a zone
local zone = QuickBounds.createZoneFromInstance(workspace.ExampleZonePart)

--make the zone start watching the example group
zone:watchGroups(group)

--register callbacks for zone entering/exiting
group:onEntered(function(part, zone, customData)
    --if the zone was registered with createZoneFromInstance then zone.part will be the Instance passed to that function,  otherwise it will be nil
    print(part, "entered", zone.part, "with custom data", customData)
end)

group:onExited(function(part, zone, customData)
    --if the zone was registered with createZoneFromInstance then zone.part will be the Instance passed to that function, otherwise it will be nil
    print(part, "exited", zone.part, "with custom data", customData)
end)
