       Are the old RoboHelp and Captivate file formats, structures, directory organization, etc compatible with RoboHelp 2015?  If not, how about RoboHelp 11?

       Are there instructions on how to do the upgrade such that everything remains (or is converted) for compatibility?

2. Are the Captivate 4 files compatible with Captivate 9?  We use mainly SWF files.

Note too that upgrading a Captivate proj

Note too that upgrading a Captivate project is sometimes troublesome and you find it's just easier to re-create the project as opposed to struggling with overcoming the issues introduced with the upgrading.
