ProPhoto RGB color space question

As I was about to export some photos from Lightroom, I noticed that the color space was set to ProPhoto RGB instead of sRGB. I don't know if this got switched as I was setting up this particular export or if I accidentally changed it weeks ago. I've uploaded 1000s of photos over the past few weeks and I'm worried that it may affect print quality.

I tried looking at the metadata from recent exports, but there was nothing in there about color space.

Should I be concerned?

Thank you,
Sam

    Hi Sam,

    your photos will have been converted to sRGB when you uploaded them. This help page has more info and should help you.
