View versions of a Team Project

Each time a collaborator publishes a change, Team Project creates and stores a new version of the project. You can easily view or go back to a previously published version. Versions are a permanent and easy way to maintain the published history of Team Project. 

There are multiple ways to access and view versions of your Team Project.

  • Select the Team Project name in the Premiere Pro header bar and then Auto Save History from the dropdown menu.

Create a new Team Project from a version

  1. Use any of the previously mentioned methods to access the versions in the Media Browser panel.

  2. Navigate the Media Browser to the current version of the project by using the version vertical slider, which allows you to browse through all versions.

  3. Right-click the Team Project under Creative Cloud in the Media Browser panel, and select New Team Project From Version to create Team Project from a prior shared version. 

    A dialog box with the following characteristics opens up:

    • Pre-populate the name of the current Team Project and append a copy to it.

Specify Auto Save cache location

When working on a Team Project, every edit you make in the project is automatically saved locally. It's also synced automatically to Adobe Cloud service.

You have the option to specify a location on your local system where the Team Project Auto Save cache is to be saved. As you work and make changes, Team Project is auto-saved in the background to this specified location.

Note:

Unlike local projects, where your project is automatically saved based on the time intervals specified in the Automatically Save Every option under Preferences, Team Project gets saved with every edit. You don't have to worry about your changes not being saved, and there is no need to manually save your Team Project after every edit.

  1. Choose Premiere Pro from the menu bar > Settings (macOS) or Preferences (Windows) > Auto Save.

  2. Under the Team Projects section, select Browse and specify the desired location on your system.

    Use the Auto Save pane in Preferences to specify a location on the system where Team Projects auto saves are cached.

  3. Once done, your specified changes will be applied to the next new Team Project you create. 

Caution:

The auto save files are stored in .tpr format and cannot be opened directly. For any help with these files, contact Adobe Support.

View auto saves

The Auto Saves feature lets you view all auto saves, check when your edits were auto saved, revert to a previous auto save, and even create Team Project from an existing auto saved edit.

  1. Select Edit >Team Project > Browse Auto-Saves to browse your personal auto saves of the currently open Team Project.

    Alternatively, you can also select the Team Project name in the Premiere Pro header bar and then Version History from the dropdown menu.
