Smokeball Grow and Prosper+ Releases July 2026

View all new features and refinements to Smokeball Grow and Prosper+ for this month.

8th July 2026

Version 9.18 of the Smokeball Desktop App is now available to all users. If you are not receiving a prompt to update, log out and back in to the Desktop App.

Version 9.18 contains the following refinements:

Bulk assign emails to a matter in New Outlook

You can now assign and unassign multiple emails to and from a matter in New Outlook. To select emails in bulk, hold down the Shift key on your keyboard and click on the emails to assign. The Assign button under the matter card in the New Outlook panel will display the number of emails you have selected.

Improvements to preventing duplicate contacts

When creating a new Contact, Smokeball will now check if a similar contact already exists in the system and display a Possible Duplicate window if a match is found. From this window, you can validate the contact and proceed with creating the new contact if they are not a duplicate. 

On the Smokeball Desktop App

On the Smokeball Web App

Also on the Smokeball Web App, we have removed the field auto-complete that appears in Google Chrome when trying to enter contact details.

Improvements to Tasks

We have made the following changes to the Task List:

• You can now sort tasks by Categories and Assigned To.
• User selections in the Task Assignee filter now persist even after Smokeball is closed. This persists until you log out of Smokeball.

We have also cleaned up the Next Step matter widget by introducing a white background behind the Next Step, making it easier to see. You can also now hover over the Task Name to view the full task name.
