Encrypted Documents in 14
« 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
( 1417 notes - https://www.sparxsystems.com/products/ea/history.html)

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:
