Idea: Enable “Save As” to Support Folder-Level Destination in Microsoft Fabric

[dwramreddy]

Currently, when using the “Save As” feature in Microsoft Fabric, users can only save artifacts directly to the top-level workspace, not into specific folders within that workspace. This limitation disrupts organized workspace management, especially for teams maintaining clear folder structures for notebooks, pipelines, and lakehouses.

🔍 Problem:

• The “Save As” dialog lacks folder navigation support.
• Artifacts must be manually relocated to their intended folders after saving.
• Users lose time and context when switching between interfaces just to move items post-save.

✅ Suggested Improvement:

• Enhance the “Save As” experience to include folder-level selection, allowing users to choose their desired folder destination at the point of saving.
• Provide a simple folder picker UI aligned with OneLake structure to streamline this process.

🚀 Benefits:

• Saves time and reduces friction in daily workflow.
• Encourages better organization and collaboration within workspaces.
• Aligns with OneLake’s structured design philosophy.
