After Effects Dynamic Link Empty Project After Re-open

Trying Teams projects again after several years to see if it actually works and one hour in have hit a crazy buggy issue.

I have the SIMPLIEST project in Premiere.  A literal Power Point presentation to VO that needs some of the slides animated in AE.  I've invited one other member but she hasn't accepted yet and I began working myself.  I created a Team After Effects project after converting the Premiere project we started to a Team project.  I send a slide and a section VO to AE via "Replace with AE Comp" and boom it shows up in AE.  I do my animating and it shows up in Premiere as expected.  AE tells me all the changes are synched. Publish changes in Premiere.  I quit AE on accident.  Start it back up and open the project and it is completely EMPTY.  Go back to Premiere and the linked comp is fine. 

I try re-opening in AE. I search the internet and this forum for an answer.  On a lark I just grab somemore media and send it into my open Team AE project and it goes there and BOOM all my other stuff is now in there too.  I go to the edit menu and manually select "share changes."  I quit AE. Reopen the project and it's Empty again.

This is nuts.  I guess whenever I reopen the teams project I need to just send something from Premiere to it again so it remembers it's not empty.
