just updated pro to 2024, but it won’t save as an older version. I have losts of customers who don’t use the newest version. work around?

“versionless” is inaccurate. Sketchup 2021 cannot open my 2025 files without an extension that only works on Windows, and I have to collaborate with someone on an old Mac who can’t run anything newer then 2021 without buying a whole new machine.

Can you let me try an example 2025 file that won’t open in 2021 on Mac? Any features that are Windows-only, or were not possible in 2021, won’t work, but the file should open.
