Title: Encrypted Documents in 14
Post by: Nizam on May 03, 2018, 12:04:22 pm

Encryption algorithm used by encrypted documents updated. Note: Documents saved in version 14 will be unreadable by prior versions

Anyone else noticed this? Does this mean Linked Documents/ Embedded Documents won't open in previous versions?

My understanding is that ordinary Linked Documents shouldn't be affected by this change. Only "Encrypted Document" artifacts, which are a special type in the Artifacts Toolbox. See "Encrypted Document Artifact" on the following page:
