How can I check the compatibility of a toolbox with older versions of MATLAB?

I am using MATLAB R2017a, and am planning to get some new toolboxes. However, I would like to check if they will be compatible with my MATLAB release or not.

Presently, I would like to check the compatibility of Report Generation Toolbox with MATLAB R2017a. How can I check that?

To check the compatibility of a toolbox or service with an older release, please follow the following steps:

1. Identify and open the documentation page of the particular product or service that you are interested in by using the following product list:

https://www.mathworks.com/products.html

2. At the bottom of the product's documentation page, in the "Product Resources" section, click on "Product Requirements" or "Requirements". This will take you to the product's requirements page that shows the release in which the product was introduced. The product should be compatible with that introductory release and any future releases.

For example, MATLAB Report Generator's requirement page shows that it was introduced before R2006a. Therefore, it should be compatible with MATLAB R2006a and later releases. The following is the requirements page for the MATLAB Report Generator:
