As Adobe rolls out updates to Adobe Applications at an accelerated pace with Creative Cloud, as compared to the old Creative Suite days, there might be times when you need to use the older version of an application, compatibility with plug-ins is one example. Here is how to download the previous version of the applications in the suite.

- Launch the Adobe Creative Cloud application.
- Click the More actions (…) button next to the listing for the app you want to rollback.
- In the popup window, click the Install button to reinstall the older version of the app.
Once you authenticate, the application will be automatically downloaded and installed into your applications folder.
