saving to affinity photo 2.1

[elfmarc]

I have updated to photo2.2 but several of my collaborators still use photo2.1. How can I share files with them so they can  modify/edit them?

Hi @elfmarc

Unfortunately, this is not possible, or only possible to a limited extent.

You could use the psd format. However, effects and adjustment layers may be rasterized and can no longer be changed.

The easiest way is that your collaborators change to version 2.2.

I may take some time before the whole team can update to 2.2.  Is it possible to revert my app(photo2.2) to photo2.1 until all collaborators are able to do the 2.2 update?

You can uninstall 2.2, and get 2.1 from https://affinity.store/update/macos/photo/2 or https://affinity.store/update/windows/photo/2 as appropriate and reinstall it.

thanks for the info and links!
The 3 Affinity apps are so feature-rich and well designed i'm surprised they dont include some backward compatability.

You have already given yourself the answer. The many new features, even within the major versions, make backwards compatibility difficult or impossible. The already lush program code would probably grow significantly.
