We were just having the same discussion internally for our projects that are on Windows Fileservers as opposed to ProjectWise. Since we now have projects in SS10, ORD 2020 R3, and ORD 2021 R1 it would be WAY too easy for users to open files in the wrong program.

Our initial thought at this point (at least for the ORD projects) is to include a little script in the WorkSet cfg file that would essentially block and provide notice to a user if they have opened the DGN file using the wrong version.

Is there anything more automatic, so that users don't accidentally mess up files?

For OpenRoads DGN files the Civil File Manager can be used to help identify the version of OpenRoads last used to edit the DGN. See https://communities.bentley.com/products/road___site_design/w/road_and_site_design__wiki/51913/civil-file-manager
