In case you didn't get the warning or you just clicked OK (Don't bother me, just do what I just said), your file has been saved and your shadow (or brush or whatever it was) can't be edited any more. Was it because you clicked in the wrong place or because you selected some kind of artwork that doesn't go with the function concerned? You won't know without the warning. Actually turning off any warnings might keep you from working efficiently, because you always have to bother why Illustrator won't do what you told it to. This effectively makes you blind to file versions. This is only safe when the document doesn't contain any more than simple paths. Might be needed when working in an environment with mixed versions. This is fine in case you or someone else will need to open it in the old version again. This is fine when you're certain that neither you nor anybody else will ever need to open it in the old version again.ģ.b you can change the new keeping the legacy file.

Every time you just do File > Save, Illustrator saves to the version the file has been created in. OK, but why does Illustrator even save an old version? I didn't tell it to.

Whatever it was - the file is older than the Illustrator version you're currently using.
Or you received a file from a coworker or a client. You (just) installed a new version of Illustrator and opened a file from your clipart library or an old artwork that you updates to your client's needs. Think that this doesn't affect you, because there's no text in your file? Think again.
