  Yes, you could use Unity UI to place your slot 0 wherever you want.
  
  As for transferring saves between episodes - yes, that would be possible.  Custom coding, sure, but there wouldn't be a problem with incompatibility.
  
  The caveat would be that you'd only be able to transfer Global Variable data.  If the two episodes shared the same Variables Manager, this'd be quite simple.  You could even have a "Has completed Ep 1" boolean that's set to true once the player's finished episode 1.
  
  Writing an import script has been on my todo list for a while, though it may not be integrated into the menu system - likely you'll have to run a script function.  We'll see.

  Thank you Chris for your answer. That's what I was thinking, to keep the same variable manager and create an "Ep1a completed" boolean, etc.
  I was especially scared because our choices in episode 1 making changes in episode 2, etc.
  I'll test it all as soon as possible and I will bring you my feedback .
  
  ps: Import script, I hadn't thought of that, but yes, it might be useful!

  I've actually gone ahead and added this myself: it'll be a new option in the SaveList menu element.  You'll be able to import the global vars of another save, and optionally only list those in which a set bool is "true".  A couple of caveats:
  
  - Only works for desktops (no webplay / mobile)
  - The publisher name must be the same
