Downgrade from 5.1 to 5.0 - possible?

Questions & Answers
1

Hi, I just ran across a problem in 5.1 (I submitted a bug report) to do with the UI. I downloaded 5.1 today (a big mistake) and my project upgraded. 5.0 didn’t have the problem, so I wonder if I can go back (since it’s only 0.1 version numbers difference). I’m very close to a deadline.

So, can I? If not, then how can I do it manually (meaning using all of my assets to re-create it)? Is there a way to keep prefabs as they are and import them into an older version of Unity? My scripts will be fine, as I can simply drag-and-drop them into the project. But how can I do this with prefabs?

You can definitely downgrade but you will have to re-install/re-download Unity. Download Archive The Unity archive should help you there. As for the assets I would copy the assets folder and drag the folder into the project files. It probably won’t downgrade the scripts or anything however if that becomes an issue take a look at the script upgrade guide here. Hope this helped!
