I made a project using YOLOv8 in roboflow, and now I want to train exactly same dataset on other YOLO versions as well (just to compare results). I tried if I can create another version in same project and then choose different model, but I didn’t found any way to do that. So finally I thought that I would export the annotated dataset and create a new project with YOLOv5 model, but when I exported dataset it didn’t had annotations. Can someone please help me out with this, and tell that how can I download annotated dataset so that I can train it on different YOLO version. If not then please suggest any other way which could work for me. - **Project Type: Object detection** - **Operating System & Browser: Windows11, Google Chrome** ---

Hi @ridz How a version in Roboflow works is that it’s a copy of your datasets (with preprocessing and augmentations applied) at that point in time. Export options aren’t set to one project or a specific version. You can export any number of formats from any version in any project. ![image](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex029/uploads/roboflow1/original/2X/8/84f54b3bc677962cc9903008a43c34ec5cb01d3f.png) [Learn more about this in the relevant page on our docs](https://docs.roboflow.com/datasets/exporting-data). ---
