Hi Farzam,

 

Thanks for reaching out. I am afraid, there is no way to open a file created in a newer version of XD on an older version of XD, as with every new release the document format is revised to support the latest feature. So to open the file, an update will be needed.

 

Feel free to reach out if you have any other questions or issues, we'll be happy to assist.

Rishabh... my coworker recently started a new cloud account and has created a file in XD version 38. I am unable to open it as the latest update I'm seeing only goes to my version 37.1.32.2. When will I be able to update to v38?
