Do newer version servers upgrade files by default

Hi.

I am, potentially... depending on answers to this question, working in an environment that requires my to use a DEVELOPMENT MySQL server at version 5.7 and a PRODUCTION MySQL server at version 8.0.

I will need to import and export a database to and from both servers using PhpMyAdmin:

1 create it in 5.7
2 export it from 5.7
3 import it into 8.0
4 export it from 8.0
5 import it into 5.7
6 back to point 2...

Will the MySQL 8.0 server alter/upgrade the database file when it imports it in such a way that I can no longer import it into MySQL 5.7?

I have Googled this question but can only find information on upgrading a 5.7 SERVER to an 8.0 SERVER. This is not what I want to do.

Thanks,

Mike
