30 words direct answer

Copy the SaveGames folder to a safe location.

Detailed description

Stand-alone backup: Copy the entire %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Pal\Saved\SaveGames folder to an external hard drive or cloud, and do this before upgrading. For private servers, world files, player files, and server settings must be backed up separately, and the server must be stopped before copying to avoid copying to damaged files during writing. It is officially confirmed that 1.0 is not archived, but a complete backup before upgrading across major versions is a zero-risk action, and you can roll back without loss if something goes wrong. This is the highest priority of all preparation steps.

Want to prepare nowOnly the rollbackable assets, important Pals, server settings and problem lists are organized.Watch 1.0 Hub
Waiting for official patch notesPut the World Tree, new Pal, map points, and best base into the waiting slot first.See 1.0 FAQ
T0 Check back on the same dayFirst check the status of "The current version is still valid" and "Waiting for verification after 1.0 goes online" before deciding whether to reopen or use the old file.See transfer rules

Operation sequence

1Read the 1.0 hub page first to distinguish between public information and waiting fields.
2List the old files, Pals you want to keep, server settings and Mods separately.
3Use the Global Palbox page to determine if a new file + selected Pal transfer is required.
4After T0, conclusions will only be written based on official patch notes, data extraction, or verifiable testing.

Treat old videos as new answersOlder strategies may still provide context, but version status cannot be overridden.
