Moving folders · Rules and Auto Rules

Will a rule move something I changed recently?

Short answer: No. Every rule has an age threshold and nothing changed recently is touched automatically. The floor sliders in Global overrides can only raise the minimum age, and Move by age rules also keep files you've opened recently.

No. Every rule has an age threshold, and nothing you've changed recently is ever touched automatically. The floor sliders under Settings → Rules → Global overrides set a minimum age for every rule and can only make it older, so nothing brand-new is moved by accident.

Move by age rules go further and also keep files you've opened recently, even if you haven't changed them.
