Freelancers moving a client's project folders: choose a pilot that includes the file features you need to preserve.
In the Shared Drive Migration Planning Kit's fictional Cedar Vale Studio example, pilot B-01 includes 120 working files, nested folders and internal links. Lee can verify every file in that batch. The later review records a stale internal link found before users switched.
Before your next move: • Choose a manageable batch containing folder structures and links used in the wider move • Record where each tested link should lead, then open it from the copied location • List any important file features the pilot hasn't exercised and plan how to check them before expanding the move
Keep the original source available under the agreed recovery plan. The remaining batches still need their own verification and signoff.
Shown: the actual Prepare a small pilot and recovery route page from the kit's fictional completed example. Its people, files and outcomes are invented for practice.
The digital ZIP includes a six-page editable Word plan, matching print PDF, Excel batch register with 40 prepared rows, six-page fictional example and two-page Quick Start. Designed for desktop Microsoft Word and Excel; PDFs are static. These are manual planning files. The kit doesn't move files, test links or change access.
