error with re-opening skyline files bella bruszel  2025-03-25 05:01
 
Dear Support Team,
I would like to continue working on my older projects, but I cannot open the saved files.
See the error message below
I tried to open the file with the 64bit version.
Could you please suggest a solution for this?
Thank you and best,
Bella

That document can only be opened using Skyline-daily.
Skyline-daily is newer than Skyline 24.1.

All versions of Skyline are able to open documents created by earlier versions of Skyline, but they can never open anything created by anything newer.
The current Skyline-daily is always the newest version of Skyline in existence, so the current Skyline-daily should be able to open any document that has ever been created by any version of Skyline.

You can install Skyline-daily by clicking the "Skyline-daily (beta)" button on the main Skyline page:
https://skyline.ms/project/home/software/Skyline/begin.view

After you have opened the document in Skyline-daily you can convert it to something that can be opened by Skyline 24.1 by using the "File > Share" menu item and selecting "Skyline 24.1" in the "Skyline file format" dropdown.
