Hi  @bkatkam ,

 

You can edit reports in a newer version even though it was created in an older one.Otherwise it may return errors if some features have been updated and you need to use them and save the changes.

@bkatkam , you should not edit a report of a newer version in an older version.

i understand but most of our reports are in older version and this particular set of reports are uploaded by business in the latest version.
