PRO-Studio HDR Lighting System 3
https://www.daz3d.com/pro-studio-hdr-lighting-system-3

I have the entire set, 1-3. 1 and 2 show up in LIGHTS in smart content. 3 does not. 
When I search ALL PRODUCTS, it shows up but I cannot figure out where it is exactly. It does show up in CONTENT LIBRARY 

OH ... I found all 3 in RENDER-SETTINGS .... 

HOW DO I GET A COPY INTO LIGHTS? I would like all 3 in the LIGHTS category in smart content. 

TIA

    It's not a "files" menu, you right-click on the actual item in the library.

    A right-click gives me this:

    i see... for an individual piece of a package, not the entire package. So the light deal I'm wanting to move from Render-Settings to Lights, I would have to do each of 50 files? 
    Or maybe i can move it within the file structure?

    Assuming you are looking at the Products tab of Smart content, a product will appear in any category to which at least one of its files belongs. If you want to assign all the files then you can do that through the Edit Product Metadata dialogue, which you can launch from a right-click on the product in the Content Library

    Well, you can do more than one file at a time, if they are in the same folder. Better yet, go to the Products view (the Alphabetically grouped list) and go to the product in question. ALL items will be in that folder, so you can select the ones you want to categorize the same way and do them all at once. If you want to remove them from a category, deselect the categories you want to remove them from at the same time.
