Hey guys - I'm wondering why I'm getting an error when I try to export these embedded smart objects in photoshop. I share these files with my coworkers so we don't place as linked rather place as embedded. I'm confused.. Not sure if I understand this properly...  Please help

Can you provide the file (feel free to black out sensitive Layers and reduce the number of artboards) or at least post a screenshot with the complete, unobstructed Canvas visible?

What is your workflow?  Are you right clicking and using Export As?

If that is not working, try double clicking to open in a new window, and save from there as a .PSB file.  

 

The one thing I would question is if you are sharing these SOs, and one of you edits it, as an Embedded SO it will not update globally.  I don't even know what the correct workflow would be in that situation.

    Would you mind twirling open one of the missing Smart Objects to show the thumbnail on the layer? If it has a link icon instead of the embedded Smart Object icon as in your Vector Smart Object layer or Dealmaker-23-G??? layer, then it may have been converted to a linked Smart Object and the link may be broken.
