2018 Content Libraries Have Been Replaced With 2019 Content

[AFatRat]

After a colleague downloaded and installed Revit 2019, the content libraries located here, Autodesk\RVT 2018\Libraries, have all been updated to 2019. So, when trying to load families in a 2018 project, the error, "Cannot load component because the family was created in a later version..." appears.

I wasn't present when the download and install occurred so I'm not sure what exactly happened. Does anyone have an idea on what could have happened, and, more importantly, what would be the best way to resolve this?

I think the answers are obvious.

The 2018 content was overwritten due to user error.

Replace it by downloading it from Autodesk.

The default location was temporarily wrong last year but it was not overwriting the 2018 content.
