How can i make a copy of part file while not changing the equation references?

Hi,

I had to make some adjustments to a part file, but dont wish to lose the original file, therefore I saved-as copy the part, and started working on the copied version, however when I went to check if the original file is still intact, I got pop-up messages that ask if I would like to change the reference of the equations back to the original file.

-I guess firstly is this even a serious issue? if i work on the original file, than switch to the new file, will it always again ask me to switch the references?
-secondly: will Pack-and-Go of file make a difference? (versus save-as copy)

Thanks
