Is it possible to import automation from a previously saved session into a newer session in ProTools? Not sure if I am wording that right.?

When working on a song, I do a lot of "save as" to document the various phases of building the song. This way I can always reference back to previous versions. Along the way I might make changes that I dont like(guitar or vocal levels), so I am wondering if there is a way to import, say, the volume levels of the guitar tracks in an earlier version of the song.

I know I can just go back and write down the levels or do a screen shot, but some of my automation can get pretty complex.

Thanks for any help.
