Hi

A lot has changed since Photoshop version 2018 was released, Adobe are continually adding new features with every upgrade, so features in the new version will not be available in the previous versions

Your subscription includes updates to new versions. You can keep both versions or uninstall one. Adobe only offers the current and one previous version, so you won't be able to reinstall 2018 if you uninstall.

 

Once a new version is released, new features go into that version. They do not go into previous versions.

 

If you cancel your annual subscription, you will pay a penalty for early cancellation. Since you have a subscription, simply install the current version.
