Annoying problem at saving a file in AE 2025

[Michelle38929121h656]

ok here's the deal... This is a thing that also happens in Photoshop and it's annoying (and pretty much useless): Let's say I create a new project with the name "Hello" and I save it. Then I modify it or add new stuff and I save it with the name "Bye". But, when I do that, instead of keeping open the version that I just saved (the file named as "Bye"), the original project ("Hello") remains open, so If I continue to modify it and save it, ofc it overwrites the original project instead of the second version I created

Is there a way to revert that or modify that somehow? Perhaps for some people, this new way of saving makes sense, but in the workflow where I work at, it's pretty annoying and has caused a lot of trouble. All of my coworkers have accidentaly rewritten a file this way or modified the original project instead of the new version so... yeah

I suppose the workaround is to make a copy of the original file and work from that.

It sounds like you are using Save A Copy instead of Save As.
