The ability to save databases/models as previous versions for backwards compatibility
A few of our clients use different versions of InfoWorks for various reasons (some are resistant to upgrading until they've had a chance to vet the new versions and understand the changes in house). This can create a problem where we must maintain and build using multiple versions of the software and multiple databases for different versions to serve different clients.
I would like the ability to save a database/transportable database for compatibility of previous versions. Similar to what we have with AutoCAD, where you can work in the latest version, but choose which version to save it in. Currently there is no way for a model saved in the latest version to be opened in a previous version, or even converted to be compatible with an older version.

Thank you very much for this suggestion, the networks are somewhat backward compatible when exported to snapshot files, but not databases or transportables as you have indicated, which have the benefit of not being restricted to a network only.
