Basic editor question

Hello, i have noticed in the editor the save to section is greyed out and iirc puts it somewhere in my documents.

Is it possible to change that?

Here is the goal: save it to my storage drive that 1) is mirrored to protect from data loss, and 2) i have a share setup there that i can access from my laptop. It would be really handy if i could work on the same mod from either device and the saving just syncs it so it can be continued from the other device.

Is this doable?

You can always set up a version control on the mod's plugin folder (like set it up as a git repo). That's how you'd do it if you were working with other people, for sure. Also highly recommend having the work backed up this way so you can revert changes that completely break everything you were working on.

I think the mod files all get saved to the engine's install directory. Changing it so they install elsewhere seems like it'd cause some issues with packing a mod??

Hmm not sure how yo use/make a git repo, never touched it before. Im not a developer just some guy who wanted to mess with some stuff in game. Also i am working solo.
Version control does make sense and sounds like a good idea, but back to gut im not sure how i would go about this.
