FCP 10.6.1 crashed, now when i open my project from backups, the source files are there but all my editing is gone.

just bought this version of FCP. Apologies for rookie question but I cannot find the answer anywhere. FCP crashed. I open it, I restore a backup save. All the source media is in the top LH box but below where I spent two days editing a video together, there is nothing. Just an icon saying “New Project”. How do I restore all the work I was doing?

Open the Smart Collections folder below the library name. There’s a collection for Projects there. Is your project there? If not was the name of the project and how long was it?
