3dsMax file size increases considerably after saving to new version of Max

[John.McWaters]

I've had an issue for a while now when I save a file to a new version of 3dsMax, the size of the file becomes multiple times larger than it was originally. Has anyone else experienced this or know what the cause may be? For example, I'll start a project in Max 2024 and it'll be around 60MB, then I'll save it to 3dsMax 2025, and it may balloon up to 240MB.
