Yes – it's good idea to do a Save As on your documents.

I usually package any monthly publications for the next issue of the publication.

Say for January, when I finished that publication I did a File>Package and put the package in the February folder, then I just had to rename a few files so Feb was in there instead of Jan.

There is still a risk of your file becoming corrupt for lots of reasons – and this post on the Adobe forums is a good way to get the gremlins out of files that are acting funky – https://forums.adobe.com/thread/526991
