Can you edit photos saved in earlier Lightroom formats with the controls of the current Lightroom?

When I pull up a photo edited in an earlier version of Lightroom it only shows the old controls in the develop module.  I see things like Fill Light and don't see Dehaze and other current version tools.  How can I edit old Lightroom files in the latest version?  I'm on a Mac using Lightroom Classic 10.1.1.

You can do that by updating the Process Version (PV) to the latest version. In the Develop module, if you look below the Histogram you will see a lightning bolt icon. Clicking on that gives you the option to update the PV, after which you will have all the latest controls.
