Accidentally press read mode only is there a way to recover my video

Been working on a video for the past 3 days and accidentally pressed the read-mode only on the bottom left and lost everything. Is there anything I can do to recover it?

Premiere Pro automatically saves backup copies of your project at regular intervals. To find where these are stored, follow these steps:

  • Go to File > Project Settings > Scratch Disks.
  • Look for the location listed under Project Auto Save.

Navigate to that folder on your system and open the most recent auto-saved version of your project.
