How to view a PCB in an earlier version (OrCAD 17.2) which was designed using a later version (OrCAD 17.4) ?

I am new to using OrCAD and my colleague has designed a PCB using OrCAD 17.4, but I only have OrCAD 17.2.

Is there any way I can view this PCB design without having to upgrade to 17.4 (which is not an option at the moment) ?

Can my colleague save the PCB as an earlier version that's compatible with version 17.2 (much like Office tools where you can save as earlier Word versions etc) ?

Or can he convert or export the design so that's compatible with version 17.2 ?

Or is there a tool (online/plugin/app) that can convert the PCB to a format that's compatible ?

I have used PADS, Altium, Proteous, EasyPC and DesignSpark in the past but never OrCAD so I am about to start the online tutorials.
