Making changes to current project file reverts to earlier saved versions

Not a frequent user, but learning along the way to creating a 3-minute video. My general habit is to save new versions so I won't lose the others (I know PP auto-saves every 5 minutes). So, in this case, I'm importing clips into the current version but, when I do, the project reverts to an older file. Further, when I import a new clip (whether its a .MOV or a .png or whatever), it opens a new sequence with the clip all alone in the timeline. What am I doing wrong? Is there some preference box checked that I don't know about? Thanks in advance!

Are you sure that you don't have more than one project open at a time?

If you do, you may see sequences from different projects on the same timeline.

It seems that you have multiple projects open instead of just one (1) project. If you have multiple projects open this could happen, iow that you import a clip and instead of importing to project A it imports into project B since that was the active one when you imported.

Fantastic! And thanks to both of you for your quick reply as I was dead in the water until I heard from you!

I will try to figure out whether "close all other projects" gives me a SAVE opportunity (I'm sure it will). My difficulty has been trying to copy a clip from one draft to another and getting it to stick without just reverting to the older version (where I edited the clip). I work in Photoshop and InDesign and Illustrator but have rare occasion to use Premier Pro, even though in a former life I've shot and edited, well, hundreds of tv spots in an edit bay or control room in the pre-digital era. (Yeah, I'm old!) Thanks again!
