If you want to finish a pre-1.15 campaign, do not assume it will load safely in 1.15. Make a separate backup, then use the matching earlier branch through your storefront; Paradox identifies 1.13/1.14 rollback for the old save and says the 1.14 open-beta save is included. Keep a separate 1.15 campaign rather than moving the same file back and forth.
