New to Premiere Pro - multi user Production project

Hi there

First time posting here - and have to say the Search function is not the most user friendly, nor is browsing.

Anyway that's not the point of this post. I'm joining a project and there'll be two editors. When I found out about Premiere Productions, I got pretty excited as all my attempts at Shared Projects for this film kept creating duplicates all over the new projects. Having spent 48h tinkering with Premiere (I can use the basics, I'm not super familiar with it) and with Production, I'm happy with this giant step taken by the software. Avid users will be delighted.

The other editor is not too techy, so he's a bit worried about changing his habits, but I'm sure he'll make the switch and embrace this way of working. One thing that would help a lot, and would help me too: is there a way to reopen a Production and find it as you left it the night before? In other words, when I (and he) launch Premiere in the morning, I like to find all my projects, and my bins and sequences opened like they were last time. But at the moment, it just opens the Production window and all the sub-projects it contains are closed. Is that possible? Is it a Pref somewhere? 

Adobe Premiere Productions is fairly new, so finding info is not very easy - also the name is so generic that Googling brings up thousands of non relevant results.

Thanks to the experts out here!
