Is v2 backwards compatible?

[SPurz]

If I install v2 on my computer, can I still collaborate with colleagues who use v1?

Officially, you will be able to open their V1 documents but once these are saved in V2 or you create new V2 documents they will not be able to access them.

[SPurz]

So it is also not possible in Designer for example to still save it as a v1 document?

[carl123]

No that is not possible (in V2)

@SPurz  I have created a document in Designer V2, dragged in an asset, and changed it with the new Mesh Warp feature, then with the result highlighted, did a FILE>COPY.  I can then open Designer V1, create a new, or open an existing document and FILE>PASTE.  My work from V2 is there, but cannot naturally be edited in any way using the Mesh Warp feature from V2.    You might try this copy/paste approach to see if it works for your purposes.
