That’s it-a potentially project-stopping problem eliminated quickly and easily. Then click Advanced Options to the right of the desired app’s name, and in the dialog that appears, deselect Remove Older Versions.

In the Creative Cloud app, choose Creative Cloud > Preferences > Apps. You can ensure that you don’t lose access to older versions during updates by disabling a Creative Cloud setting that automatically removes previous versions of apps when you update. Creative Cloud warns you that the app will have its auto-update setting disabled so the newly installed old version won’t be overwritten during a future update. In the list that appears, find the older version you want to install-likely the version that the rest of the team is using-and click Install.
