# Windsurf Multi-File Editing

Execute coordinated changes across multiple files with Cascade assistance.

## Directory Structure

                # Change descriptions

                # Renamed imports
                # Updated references
                # Consistent changes

            ComponentA.test.tsx      # Corresponding test file
                # Synchronized test updates
                # Import path corrections

            index.ts                 # Barrel export file
                # Updated exports
                # Maintained ordering

## Multi-File Operations

### Common Patterns
- **Rename** - Update symbol across all usages
- **Move** - Relocate file with import updates
- **Extract** - Pull code into new file
- **Inline** - Merge files together

### Safety Mechanisms
- Preview changes before applying
- Atomic rollback capability
- Syntax validation per file
- Reference integrity checking

## Configuration Steps

1. **Scope the Operation**
   - Identify all affected files
   - Map dependencies
   - Plan change order

2. **Execute with Preview**
   - Generate change preview
   - Review all modifications
   - Apply atomically

3. **Verify Results**
   - Run syntax checks
   - Execute tests
   - Validate references

## Success Criteria

- All files modified atomically
- Consistent syntax across changes
- No broken references
