Hi,

I’ve just received a 2022.2 archive which I can’t load into my 2022.1 project.  
I thought these should be compatible?  
Any known issues or am I just being stuupid?

Thank you

You can never open an archive made with a newer version inside an older version when the release is either a major (2022.0.0) or an Update (2022.1.0).
