It never had. Go to Group Management /Domain.

thanks!

quite confusing, as these two look the same with the only difference that one shows a group column while the other doesn't

Once I re-enable PiHole the filters are not working anymore. In other words, PiHole stays disabled even after it is re-enabled from this menu option.

That observation may well be accurate, but your conclusion is a bit premature:
Client OS and browser may cache DNS responses, so while Pi-hole's blocking is active the moment you re-enable it, it won't actually become effective on a client for a domain until that client requests it via Pi-hole.

You could e.g. clear your client OS's DNS cache or open and close your browser to speed that up.

thanks for the explanation - I'm happy to learn something every day!
