Question

Adobe XD versions incompatible between Mac & Windows PC

Hi, 

 

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same issues as I where I can't work on the same Adobe XD file with someone else because of XD compatibility version issues? 

 

I have a MacOS Big Sur and on my Adobe CC it says my Adobe XD is running the latest version at 39.0.12, whereas my teammate has a Windows PC running XD version 40.0.22. Due to that we can't access/work on the same file. And when he tries to access the file I share I now get this error. 

 

But I can't even update anything since it already says I'm running on the latest version, and there's no update available.

 

 

Wondering if anyone else experienced this and got it resolved?

 

Thanks! 🙂

Same here. Yesterday I was working from home on my Mac with Adobe XD40. Today I'm back in the office with a Windows computer with Adobe XD39 and I can't open yesterday's file because it needs to be updated to the latest version. But there is no update available. Unfortunately, the steps mentioned do not help. Very annoying in a productive work environment. It seems to me that automatic updates are not recommended when working on different computers. Better to update everything manually to ensure uniform versions.
