In SAS Model Studio 8.5, you cannot share projects that contain nested custom groups. This problem occurs when you try to share SAS^® Visual Text Analytics, SAS^® Visual Forecasting, or SAS^® Visual Data Mining and Machine Learning projects in SAS Model Studio 8.5.

For example, in the image below, customGroup3 is a nested group that contains two custom groups: customgroup1 and customgroup2.

However, customGroup3 does not show up in the SAS Model Studio sharing window.
