We're updating the Adversarial matter type in Smokeball with new, improved layouts. After November 13, 2026, we'll update existing Adversarial matters to use them. None of your data will change, and your matter information stays on the matter.
What you need to do
If your firm uses the Adversarial matter type, make sure everyone at your firm is on Smokeball version 10.1.5 or later by November 13, 2026. This includes every computer they use Smokeball on, such as a work desktop, laptop or home computer.
Older versions of Smokeball don't support the new layouts. If a computer is still on an older version after November 13, task due dates on Adversarial matters may be lost.

If your firm doesn't use the Adversarial matter type, there's nothing to do for now.
