Autosave file not pulling in project sequence, just media files.

Question

I was working on a project yesterday and Premiere crashed. I went to pull up the autosaved files which had four different versions over the course of the few hours I was working on it. I selected the latest time (right before it crashed) and it only pulls in the project media (unedited). There is no sequence showing up in the timeline as though I didn't create anything. I'm new to Premiere and not sure if I'm missing something. It seems strange that the only panel that is populated when I open the autosave project is the project panel with my unedited media files. Any suggestions to gain my project back would be much appreciated!

The edit data for each sequence is stored with the seqeunce data, not the clips. So if the sequence is missing, there's no edit data available.

Did you at any time to a 'normal' Ctrl/Cmd-S save action? That seems to be a frequently needed thing to start the save process working correctly for any program. And besides, in general computer use experience, never trust the computer or app's auto-save feature. Always save manually.
