Please note that if you open a Hype document in Hype 4 it will be upgraded to a Hype 4 document. If you need to recover an old document produced in Hype 3, you will need to find an export created with Hype 3 and select Help > Restore Document from Export in Hype 3. This will regenerate your .hype file from an export. More info on that process.

We plan to support Tumult Hype 3 until June of 2020.
