Ability to select a different branch office when generating a document

When generating a letter or precedent, you can now choose a branch office that is different to the one assigned to the matter.

You can also choose the branch office after selecting Open with container... when generating a precedent in the Smokeball Precedent Library.

Changing the branch via the methods above will not update the matter’s assigned branch. It only applies to the document you are generating.
