At present it goes to .qgs if the source is .qgs, and the layouts are lost.<br />However, having a functioning Save As option to QGIS (rather than QGZ) would be a bonus.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #18594: Saved Map Layouts Disappearing from Composerhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/18594?journal_id=912592018-08-04T08:29:36ZNyall Dawson
<ul><li><strong>Status</strong> changed from <i>Feedback</i> to <i>Closed</i></li><li><strong>Resolution</strong> set to <i>wontfix</i></li></ul><p>Ah, I didn't realise the issue was in opening 3.2 projects in 2.x. That's not supported, and qgis projects in general are not backwards compatible. They'll open sometimes, but things will be lost.</p>
<p>The solution here is to avoid opening projects saved in a later version.</p> QGIS Application - Bug report #18594: Saved Map Layouts Disappearing from Composerhttps://issues.qgis.org/issues/18594?journal_id=912662018-08-04T15:20:36ZGavin Kinsleygavin.kinsley@btinternet.com
<ul></ul><p>Yes - could a warning be added when loading a file saved by a later version that data could be lost when saving?</p>
