Setting permissions in Clio Manage and deleting a matter in either Clio Manage or Clio Grow also result in the following behaviour:

• Permissions in Clio Manage: If a matter is restricted to specific users or groups in Clio Manage, it becomes locked for editing and view-only in Clio Grow until the restriction is changed. While in this state, any changes made in Clio Manage to the synced fields will not sync to Clio Grow.
