Not sure what you mean by getting it "back" to an outline, but I think you might want to select all, Arrange/Grouping/Boundary. That should create a new object that is the outline of all selected objects.

It doesn't even give me the option to group

Select all, break curve apart, change the solid color to an outline. Left click the x and right click the black.

That should do what you need and you can group it back if you want.

ETA: Make sure your line is hairline, mine now defaults to .069 and won't vector automatically.

Corel has an issue with having things difficult to find. I have spent many minutes searching for something I just did minutes before.

It gets easier but is always a struggle.

I didn't say to group anything, but I misspoke anyway. I should have said "Select all, Arrange/Shaping/Boundary", as in click on the "Arrange" tab, mouse through the drop-down menu to hover over "Grouping" and click "Boundary" in the flyout. That will create a new object outlining everything you selected.
