'Strange pending edit on visual studio?

When I open a model.bim file in Visual Studio and then I close it without making any changes I see this: enter image description here

Why do I see a pending edit on the .layout and the .smproj? how can I avoid it?

I'm guessing that .smproj is updated because .layout is updated.

.layout could be updated if you changed anything in the measure grid or the diagram view. If the file didn't exist before, I believe it gets created automatically.

See this link for more information on the .layout file.

We save out a lot of view state information for tabular models. Some of this view state information is something that you would want to share with other developers in a shared development environment. The position of measures in the measure grid and the position of tables and connectors in the diagram are two such examples.
