When I edit a file, another file with the same base file name but with an ".asv" extension is automatically saved in the same folder. What is it?

It's an autosaved file, like a backup of the prior version you worked on. If your .m file got lost or destroyed, I think you can rename the .asv file to .m and have back your prior version.

If you'd prefer a different extension or to customize the behavior of backup file creation and retention in certain ways, you can change the behavior in the Preferences. See the section on Backup Files preferences on that documentation page.
