Affinity Publisher - can't open document worked in beta 2.6?

[Iztok]

Include features from later version - I worked in 2.6 public beta 2.6, and when new version can't open older version? Catalina osx.

Urgent I worked in calendar which I must end, this is very bad

[carl123]

Can you upload that file so we can try to open it?

[Iztok]

VOC 25 V1.afpub

[carl123]

The document opens OK for me, when using the 2.6 beta

 

[Iztok]

Also can't open any  from version 2.5.5. - so could be option in OSX Catalina? I could open all in Beta 2.6. , but not in new version 2.6. Something was change, I get beta 2.6 back from Time Machine and can open all as I said, nothing old can't be open in new version always same massage

[Iztok]

Open in beta 2.6 and same file in new 2.6

AFAIK, the latest retail version is 2.5.6, not 2.6.
Hence it's normal that in 2.5.x you can't open a work saved in 2.6 Beta. 

You should have been warned about this and advised to save a copy in 2.5.x before.

 

P.S. This question has already been answered in another thread:

Hi @Iztok  The latest retail version is 2.5.6 (on Windows). There is no 2.6 retail yet. So you shouldn't expect to open a 2.6 Beta file on a 2.5.6 Retail.

It's actually "very bad" to use beta versions for important work, rather than just for testing!

If you've already started working, not just testing - as is always explicitly stated, why don't you finish the work in beta version 2.6?

New 2.6 doesnt't open also 2.5.5 files none of them, so beta 2,6 work yust fine, but last update doesn't, not my fault, I take from time machine Beta version and I start working in it

Alo 2.5.5 doesn't open, so not Beta cause, but new upgrade

[Iztok]

And if you see massage, like funny - include featers from a later version - which app doesn't open later versions?

As has already been pointed out there is no Publisher 2.6, there is a Publisher beta 2.6.

You are still ignoring the information already stated here many times that no version 2.6 has been released yet, only Beta 2.6 and production 2.5.6, which for obvious reasons cannot open files from Beta 2.6.

[Iztok]

I dont know are you ignoring facts, I have OSX, 2.6 app is available and what app you think I use- look closely

[Iztok]

OK 2.5.6. sorry but we now what is problem

Alright, I wasn't paying attention to the version numbers during the upgrade, because I received the option to upgrade my version, which was already 2.5.6. I didn't notice the version number of the upgrade, which is now the same as before, with the only difference being that it no longer opens any documents created with version 2.5.6 or 2.5.5. So, the question is: why did I receive the automatic upgrade prompt if I already had that version, and why can't it open documents from 2.5.6? Let's disregard the documents from 2.6. I performed the upgrade, and all three applications were updated. I installed them and was under the impression that this was an upgrade to 2.6.

Your impression was wrong. There are no retail 2.6 versions yet, just the betas. So if you upgraded anything it was for the beta releases, not the retail ones.
