How do I manage Auto Save in Productions?

I am experimenting with Productions.  However, when one of my project files crashed, it clearly auto-saved the project as it should have, but the project in the production was not.  That's fine - however, I had to then re-add the auto-saved file into the production, delete the old one, then re-name the autosave file.  Much more cumbersome than before.  Is there another way to do this? Seems this could be handed better.
