With regard to downgrading, note that there have been several points in GnuCash

unfortunately.

If NECESSARY to "downgrade" (say multiple machines, not all able to use
past version X, but some now on version X+n)
This can only be guaranteed by a process similar to opening new books.
In your X+n version, close the books ans produce a Balance Sheet. Use
the balance sheet to open new books on the machine using X. Now remove
version X+n from the machine using that replacing with version N. You
can now copy over the file which are the books at version N from that
machine to the first.

NOTE -- the reason for the "close the books" is to zero out all the
accounts of types income or expense. Makes opening new books possible
from just a Balance Sheet. I am not saying you can't open new books with
income and expense accounts open but more work.
