Sharing ArcMap document to a lower version

Question

I am working with ArcGIS 10.4.1 and need to share a map package to someone working with ArcGIS 10.2.2.

I am able to save a copy to a lower version ArcGIS i.e 10.1 to 10.2 option. However, to make a map package I still have to reopen this in 10.4.1!

How do I go about this?

You need to use "Package Map" tool from Data Management>Package

This will give you the option 'Package Version' all the way back to 10.0.

If you have trouble opening the map package, try using the "Extract Package" tool from Data Management>Package
