"*" Asterisk model update symbol not going away after save

[CADALL]

I noticed that no matter how many times I regenerate or "Control-Q" or save my part, the "*" Asterisk symbol (Which I was told means the part hasn't updated) won't go away on my present configuration part. Does this mean I have to update all the configurations in my part to remove the "*" from the most upper left corner of my SolidWorks working window or am I missing something? Curious.

Ooops, I figured it out. I was in my mirror part that referenced another part and had a configuration in that part which needed to be updated. Once I went to the other incontext part and updated all the configurations, then went back to my mirror part and updated it, the asterisk went away. Hope someone learns something.

I thought the asterisk meant that the part had been changed since last save. Similar to the way CadKey99(ff?) did.

An asterisk (*) beside the document name in the title bar indicates that the document has changed since it was last saved.
