Please tell me about launching pbix files created with older versions.
If a pbix file created with the Power BI Desktop version 2018/12 can be launched without problems if it is version 2018/12 or later?
We intend to distribute the pbix file created in the 2018/12 version to users and allow them to be individually updated to the latest version of Power BI Desktop.
Is there anything else I should take care of?
Thank you.

Run some sanity tests to see that all is working as expected.

Hello @Anonymous
thank you for your answer.
I was relieved that pbix files created with older versions of Power BI Desktop would work correctly with newer versions.
Thank you again.
