Moving a save file to a different folder in Schedule 1

To move a save in Schedule 1, open the program, go to File > Open, find the save you want to move, right-click it, and select Move. A window will open showing your folder structure. Navigate to the folder where you want the save to live, click it once to select it, then click Confirm. The save stays in Schedule 1's system — you are just changing which folder it appears in.

The save file itself does not move to your computer's hard drive. Schedule 1 keeps all saves in its own storage area, and moving a save only changes how it is organized within that storage. This means you cannot accidentally lose a save by moving it, and you cannot move a save outside of Schedule 1 using this method.

If you want to back up a save to your computer or send it to someone else, that is a different process — you would export the save instead of moving it. Moving is only for reorganizing within Schedule 1.

Key Takeaways

  • Right-click a save in the File > Open menu and select Move to change which folder it appears in.
  • Moving a save only reorganizes it within Schedule 1 — the file stays in Schedule 1's storage and cannot be lost.
  • You can move a save to any folder you have already created in Schedule 1, or create a new folder during the move process.
  • If you want to copy a save to your computer or share it with someone, use Export instead of Move.

Creating a new folder during the move

If the folder you want does not exist yet, you can create it while moving. In the folder selection window, look for a button labeled New Folder or a plus icon. Click it, type the name you want, and press Enter. The new folder appears in the list when ready.

Once the new folder is created and selected, click Confirm to move your save into it. This is faster than creating the folder first and then moving the save separately.

Moving multiple saves at once

Schedule 1 does not have a built-in way to select and move several saves in one action. If you need to move more than one save, you will move them individually. Open File > Open, right-click the first save, select Move, choose the destination folder, and click Confirm. Then repeat for each save you want to move.

If you find yourself moving many saves regularly, consider organizing them into folders from the start — name your saves with a prefix that matches the folder you plan to keep them in, so you know where they belong before you create them.

What happens to the save after you move it

After you move a save, it appears in the new folder the next time you open File > Open. It no longer shows in the old folder. The save file itself — all your data, timestamps, and notes — stays exactly the same. Moving only changes the folder label.

If you move a save by accident, you can move it back the same way. Open File > Open, find the save in its new location, right-click it, select Move, navigate back to the original folder, and click Confirm.

Moving saves between different computers

Moving a save only works within Schedule 1 on the same computer. If you want to transfer a save to a different computer, you need to export it first. Right-click the save in File > Open, select Export, choose where on your computer to save the file, and click Save. Then move that exported file to the other computer however you normally transfer files — email, cloud storage, USB drive, or file sharing.

On the new computer, open Schedule 1, go to File > Import, find the exported file, and click Open. The save will appear in Schedule 1 on that computer in the folder you choose during import.

Organizing saves into a logical folder structure

Before you move many saves, think about how you want to organize them. Common approaches include organizing by date (2024, 2025), by project type (Personal, Work, Archive), or by status (Active, Completed, On Hold). Choose one system and stick with it so you can find a save quickly later.

Create your main folders first by moving a save into a new folder, then move other saves into those same folders. Once your structure is in place, name new saves in a way that fits your system — for example, if you organize by year, start new save names with the year.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I move a save to a folder that does not exist yet?

Yes. In the folder selection window during the move process, click New Folder, type the folder name, and press Enter. The folder is created and selected automatically, and your save moves into it when you click Confirm.

Will moving a save delete any of my data?

No. Moving only changes which folder the save appears in. All your data, notes, and timestamps stay exactly the same. The save file itself is not modified.

What is the difference between moving and exporting a save?

Moving reorganizes a save within Schedule 1 on your current computer. Exporting creates a copy of the save as a file on your computer, which you can then email, upload, or transfer to another device. Use move to organize, and export to back up or share.

Can I undo a move if I move a save to the wrong folder?

Yes. Open File > Open, find the save in its current location, right-click it, select Move, navigate to the correct folder, and click Confirm. There is no undo button, but moving it again takes only a few seconds.

Can I move a save while it is open and being used?

No. Close the save first by going to File > Close, then move it using the method described above. If you try to move a save that is currently open, Schedule 1 will show an error message.
