What do I do if I only have proxy media
I was given proxy media so that I can start editing. I have not yet been given the original media. I know how the proxy workflow works when you create proxy media right in FCP but I’ve never been in this situation where I have proxy media that was created outside of FCP. How do I set things up so that I can start editing with the proxies but then import the original media once I have access to it

As long as the files are exactly named and the same length you could just treat the Proxy as Original source.
I’ve had to deal with this a few times in the RED eco.
Doesnt work as well in the DSLR world since most (newbies) don’t use the proper naming system.

and when I am done editing I just take the proxies out of the media folder and replace with the non proxy versions? Simple media reconnect?

You don’t need to remove but that works too.
You can always relink to the new folder with your supposed masters.
