Hi ,  
Through documentation,backward compatability dosen't seems possible.  
I suppose within same version its possible likw 8.6.2 to any 8.6.X version , but 8.6 to 8.5 dosen't seems possible.  
Elastic team members may confirm the best on this.  
Even I'm requirement to import saved object from 7.9.1 version to 8.7.1 version and it gives error.

7.9.1 is [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) and no longer supported. Please upgrade ASAP.

Hi, the findings are correct: exported saved objects can not be downgraded.

Hello @kibana_dev_iko ,  
Yes,it would be possible.  
Stack management-\>saved object-\>export(from 8.6.2) whatever is your requirement.  
Now import this saved object to 8.7.X.  
Plz cross check your visulization with some data if it works fine with your import.  
Meanwhile you can also read "saved object migration" document also.The document states only backward compatibility won't be supported and in this case it would work fine.
