If You Roll Back to a previous Storyline build, can you open a file created after that version.
With all the skipping audio issues currently happening, I have determined that for me it started after I updated from the Feb 3 build about a month ago. I want to roll back to that build, but I have a couple of courses built in the latest build, so my question is -- will I be able to open the "new" courses and republish in the Feb 3 build. My guess is "no", but just wondering if anyone has done this before.
Thanks, everybody, for the comments. I went ahead and reverted back to the Feb 5 build since I know I didn't have the audio issues with a couple of courses I published two months ago. And the good news is I had NO problems opening my newer courses with this previous build. Now I just have to test them in Review and see if the audio issues are gone.

From discussions I've seen in the community, the answer is "yes." You can revert to an earlier version of Storyline and still open files that were created with a later version.
Caveat: This isn't true in absolutely every case. If you create a file that uses new features, a previous version of Storyline that didn't have those features won't be able to open the file. (examples in the past: Dialog layers, upgraded text)
You could always re-update to the latest build if necessary, so it seems worth a try to revert to the Feb. 3 build.
Depends on if you use a new feature from the later build, otherwise, yes.
You will get a dialogue to let you know if its will not open and what to do.Thanks, everybody, for the comments.
