+# Moving Files
+
+This page covers some tips for rearranging files to an individual developer's preference.
+
+> [!WARNING]  
+> Backup your project before attempting to rearrange files.  
+> You assume any risk.
+
+## Move Files in the Editor
+
+Use the editor to move files around, as this makes sure that `.uid` files get moved with `.gd` files, external resource references will get updated in `.tscn` files, and paths in project settings get updated.
+
+UIDs do help with moving files outside of the editor, but not all scenes will have UIDs set if they've just recently been copied from the examples.
+
+## Update File Paths
+
+The flow of scenes in the template by default goes `Opening -> Main Menu -> Game Scene -> Ending Scene`.   
+
+The `Opening` is referenced in the project settings, and will get automatically update if moved in the editor.  
+
+The rest have their default paths stored in the `AppConfig` autoload. These do not get automatically updated, so the developer must update these paths if they change.  
+
+Alternatively, the developer can specify paths in the scenes that reference the other scenes by path. These include:
+* `opening.tscn`  
+* `main_menu.tscn`  
+* `main_menu_with_animations.tscn`  
+* `pause_menu.tscn`  
+* `game_ui.tscn` (`level_manager.gd`)  
+* `end_credits.tscn`  
+
+## Internal Details 
+
+File paths, stored as strings, do not get automatically updated by the editor when their target moves. Paths are used when asynchronous loading of scenes (ie. using `SceneLoader`) is preferred, primarily for memory management.
