diffferent people working on the same project with different versions?

Hello, new not only to unity but to forums in general. My friend and i are getting in unity but i have version 2018.3 and he has version 2019.1. Is it possible for us working on different versions to still work on the same projects together or do i need to download the newer version?

No, that doesn’t work. You need to use the same version.

At least not without severe caveats. You can create scripts in an older release and he can add them to the project, but while the editor is able to open projects made with older releases it’s not intended to open projects made with newer releases so you won’t be able to open the project yourself if you go down this route.

You can install multiple Unity versions on the same computer. Doing so is quite typical. So just choose a version and both install it, and keep the other versions installed as well for other stuff you may have created with them.

True, and if you use Unity Hub (pretty much required with new versions of Unity anyway), it makes it easy to launch the right version of Unity for each project.
