That's the way it works. As you make changes, the underlying tax return is modified to incorporate the changes. When you're finished with the amendment the tax return should match the return that you created "as it should have been." When you save a copy of the starting return with a different name, amend one copy and keep the other copy unmodified as your copy of the original return.
