Available on Smokeball Grow and Prosper+

The error message 'Moving <Folder or Items> out of a publisher's form suite is not allowed' appears when you attempt to move a folder or file from an existing matter type to another location.

When attempting to move a folder, it will list the folder name in the error message:

By default, you cannot move files out of the default suites in the Smokeball Precedent library to another folder. Default suites are denoted by a white rectangle in the upper-right corner of their folder icons. 

If you need to move a folder out of the default form suite, follow this workaround:

  1. Right-click, hold and drag the form/folder you wish to move from the base suite to the new destination folder.
  2. Select Copy Here
    • Optional: Delete the original copy of the file in the base form suite.
