Potentially silly question.
When sending archives back and forth, if something was archived from 2023.3, can that be opened in 2023.2? I always thought as long as the Flame version was the same year number, eg. 2023, then it would open, and only wouldn’t open if it was 2022 and earlier?

This is from a couple of years back, but I don’t think anything has changed.

Reading Flame archives in older versions

Unfortunately, archives are only backward compatible and not forward compatible. Backward compatible = opening old version archives in the latest Flame. (YES) Forward compatible = attempting to open new version archives in old version of Flame (NO) Even with the update point releases, the newer archives will not open in an older version of Flame (even if you just want to check).

Thanks for confirming what I suspected!
