The project version can be compared by providing the related „Project Path“ and a desired condition (e.g. IS\_OLDER) and exiting the node via true or false.

The node result will be the corresponding version number.

Before any manipulation of the project file is executed, a backup of the project file will be created with the extension '\*.prproj\_backup'. If the manipulation encounters an issue, such as creating a 0 KB project file, the backup file will be used to replace the corrupted file.
