Color workflow issues

I'm trying to work out the finer points of FCP Color.

I sent my project files from FCP to Color and my editing choices in Color somehow overwrote my editing choices in FCP. I want to be able to see what's happening in Color and compare it to my previous Color editing in FCP. I made two timelines in FCP with identical source materials and I only sent one timeline over to Color. How do I keep my original editing in FCP from being overwritten?

Editing in Color? You don't edit in Color, you edit in FCP. Your timelines should be LOCKED in Color, so you can't change anything.

Separate sequence? Should be sent to Color as a separate project. Different Color Project for every sequence you have.

And next time, post this in the COLOR forum.

Thanks for pointing out that there is a Color forum. Sorry to post here.

This is a strange issue... You can't even get realtime playback, how do you intend to edit in Color?
