Do old "Legacy" console saved "sessions" or presets open up in the new console version?

Did some Googling and YouTubing with no success to see if saved "sessions" or scenes or presets or whatever you want to call them from the old "Legacy" console app will carry over and open up in the new version of console. I run 2 x8p Apollos for drums and have loads of presets so wondering if I'll have to dial everything in from scratch when I update to the new console version.

yes, they'll open just fine. The app changed, but not the session format.

is it somehow possible to interchange console session? i noticed when i create a console session with my Apollo x8, it will not properly interchange on a different computer where i have my silverface connected, and vice versa.
it will then add a new offline unit to the console-session if that makes sense (not sure how to describe it.)

Console sessions are (and always have been) specific to the device they were created on.

You CAN get settings off them by showing offline devices and dragging things over, but you need to OG device to get the Auxes.

thank for your feedback
i did that a few times but then i also ended up still having the 2nd devices in my system and that caused the console to behave very slow and sluggish, so i avoided that and instead saved lots of stuff into channel presets which i can easily recall. and yes, like you said, there was also an issue with the auxes i now remember again.

i had a bit of a success to edit the console session preset files with a text editor (bbedit) , there is a variable called device ID on every channel which can be manipulated :)
