file exchange

Hi, Can I use my files from v15 and open and work with them on 16 and then go back to 15 and still work on them/back and forth? Or I will get file errors and
compatibility issues? Considering I would not use the new features in 16 lets say.

It's fair to say that v15 would not understand a new feature from v16, but whether it would simply ignore any edits you try, or corrupt them, is a question for the devs. Why not try an experiment on a sample file?

Is there a reason you would want to revert v15? Why not open a v15 in v16 and then stick with v16?

behzad, for the scenario you've painted, there should be no problems at all on the design side of things.
There may be changes in the preview so a v16 website technically could behave differently to a v15 render.

It is a thing I have done across versions for years with little issue.
Xara design files are forward compatible and mainly backward compatible.

Thank you guys. Chris the reason is that I now stay at two locations and travel back and forth, so I just leave one computer in each location. One computer is 64 bit the other 32 bit and as you know they do not support upgrade to 32 bit. So that is the reason why, until I buy another computer that is 64 bit.
