How do I restore from an auto save?

It was confusing, but after many tries i figured it out.
(I’m going to use “Example” as an example map)

1: Go to Documents>UnrealProjects>MyProject>Saved>Autosaves>Game>ThirdPersonBP>Maps

  1. Copy the latest Example_Auto.umap and Example_BuiltData_Auto.uasset

  2. Paste them into Documents>UnrealProjects>MyProject>Content>ThirdPersonBP>Maps

  3. Remove any old instances of that map

  4. Rename Example_Auto.umap to Example.umap and do the same to Example_BuiltData

  5. Open Unreal Engine

  6. Open your project

  7. See if it works

If it doesnt work try it again with an older autosave

Hope this helps someone!
