UI educator here, been complaining about this for over a year. Here's Adobe XD lead Andrew Shorten's response to me complaining on Twitter and suggesting I might move my class to Sketch, FYI.

I have 30 students who would like to know what the progress is on this request. They love XD, but their patience is going to wear thin before long.

This should be possible. Or something like export as version X ....

I am in class right now as an instructor and my students cannot open their XD files they worked on at home because there was an update this week. The schools cannot update automatically like the students. I'm amazed this still is not a feature.

I'm teaching XD in a lab at a university and the compatibility issues across versions are causing major problems. Students can't update the software on these machines and our administrators aren't able to go to every lab and run updates throughout the term. So, I have students who can create things in the old version in our lab, but as soon as they try to work with it on their personal computers at home (which have a more recent version of XD that they can't roll back), they're stuck and can't use that file in the computer lab any more.

Yeah this is so dumb. I love it when i'm starting a 7am meeting, and get ready to lead my design share to 20 developers but then there was an overnight update and now i have to stall for X amount of time because my Xd decided it needed some "me time".
Another waste of users time. can we please rename this Zero Experience Design? because that would be more accurate for this software. -

Why would this not be a feature? And if it is not a feature, why would the program just not play nice with older versions? This is a huge oversight.

+1 I work for an enterprise company and only have access to v.13 on my laptop. Trying to open a file created in v.16 and can't. I need it for a project due tomorrow :(

+1 for older versions compatibility.
I and my students are in the same boat as Newton and Jennifer Young. And as Newton mentioned, we too are considering dumping XD in favor of Sketch. SO FRUSTRATING. With our students, the Adobe brand is becoming synonymous with a large, faceless monopoly that doesn't care about its customers.

Indesign has this neat feature of exporting to IDML file that can be read by older versions. We desperately need this feature in XD.

older macs can't upgrade OS, which means they can't upgrade XD....

yes, it's a giant problem to share files and other mac can't open them because they can't be updated, there should be an option to export as in Indesign that is saved as IDML or something like that for other versions, please help!

For Sencha ExtJS we offer our customers 1000+ stencils of our framework components. Most of our customers work on Windows. We are now receiving many complaints from our customers since they are unable to open our XD stencils.
We need backward compatibility feature.
