How to move list and detail page to a subfolder

Can I move a list and detail page to a sub folder without losing the content? The client has heavily populated a list and detail page with content it's important not to loose this data.

Any tips tricks to be aware of?

Yes, move it using the option in the control panel.

OK, the procedure. Do I in Page Options...

Change path from... /mypage.php to my new path /subfolder/mypage.php tick 'move the page to this location'

What about Parent page? (I'm using my own navigation not Perch)

Do I add anything in the Subpage folder field?

The file location and the location in the navigation don't need to be the same. You can set the parent to whatever makes sense to you.

Thanks all sorted. No data lost.

Even better Perch can move and re-name the file in one go. In this case it need to be an index.php for the subfolder.
