[Avid-L2] Duplicate sequence question

So, for years I've been working like this:

- start project, capture/import & log footage
- create a new sequence (or several)
- edit for a while
- duplicate the current sequence in the bin
- open the duplicate of the sequence, and continue working in that
duplicate. The original stays the way it was at the time of duplication.
I'll usually add a creation date to the sequence name.

Today a colleague mentioned that this was not the "right" way to do it. It
would be better to duplicate the sequence, keep the duplicate as it is, and
continue to work in the "original" sequence.

Apparently, this was pointed to my colleague during an Interplay
instruction, I suppose it has to do with the order in which sequences are
saved or updated in an Interplay environment. Anyone know if this relates to
"regular" local projects and/or Unity projects as well?

Just wondering what this all means under the hood.

Thx,
