What you describe is not the correct workflow.
Your changes would be store in the original document too and I'm not sure that it's what you want.
The correct workflow would be:
open the doc
duplicate
save the duplicate
edit this duplicate as you want (AutoSave will apply)
close the duplicate when it's ready.
You are free to close the original immediately after duplicating it or keep it open to create new documents.
I use none of these workflows.
I save every document which must be used as starting point to create new ones as templates.
This way I'm sure that the changes which I make can't be stored in my original.
There is a switch in the application.
If the system is Lion it behave the new way, if it's an older system it behave the old way.
Happily, there is no way to change that.
Third party developers are urged to apply the new scheme.
Some refused completely and their app can't enter Mac App Store.
Some deliver the new feature with enable/disable switch. At this time they may enter the M.A.S.
Only those delivering Versions and AutoSave with no enable/disable switch may enter the list of « Lion aware » applications (it's why GraphicConvert was removed from this list).
At this time, Apple applications matching the rule are :
iBooks Author
Keynote
Numbers
Pages
Preview
TextEdit
Guess that others will do when they will be updated.
