Same file but with different content when you open it in the Beta or 2025 version

I edited a file with the recently v295 version but when I used the Beta version to open it, the edited content is not there. This is the same when I do the reverse, i.e. edit in the v29 version and the Beta version doesn't show the edited content. Furthermore, I tried saving the same file in a different name i.e. with the Beta version in one name and the v29 version in another name but when you use the FIle/Open menu, each of the versions doesn't show the file that was saved. i.e. Beta won't show the v29 file and vice versa. Worse still, the file saved with the v29 version desn't even appear in the folder ... but you can still open it with the FIle/Open within the App. So, where is it??? Weird.

Correct answer Monika Gause

First of all: it is not recommended to use Beta software for production purposes.

 

But anyway: this is not normal. WHen was rhe last time you rebooted the computer?

And maybe resetting preferences on both apps would be a good idea as well. It will erase your settings though.

Thanks so much Monika. Will definitely try your suggestions. You're right about not using the beta for producition. I was just trying it out and this is proof of  why we shouldn't use it.
