Bypass the new version in case of errors

Hello, I have the problem that I have created a report with the latest version of Power BI Desktop. My colleague now wants to open it in Power BI Desktop. Unfortunately, he only has the old version and therefore cannot open it. Unfortunately, he is not allowed to install the latest version. Is there any way he can still open the report in Power BI Desktop?

Thank you 🙂

Thanks for your answer. Unfortunately, I cannot wake up the message. Then I have no choice but to have my colleague install the latest version.

Usualy the version messgae is just a warning message, after closing hat message you fille will open on older verion of Power BI Deaktop, but it its not opening that means that your colleauge's power BI desktop is too old comparing yours
Unfortunately the version can not be downgraded thus the only option is to upgrade the Power BI desktop
