Leave Family sharing to start new family sharing group

I’m trying to leave a family sharing account and start a new one. How can I make sure that my photos, files, Apple Music playlists, etc. are saved before I leave?

iPhone 14, iOS 18

Your photos, files, Apple Music playlists etc. are associated with your Apple ID/Account. If you leave your current family group you lose access to any content that has been shared with you by other family members, subscriptions, media, iCloud storage allocation, etc. Note you cannot switch families again for a year.
