Xbox One Save Structure
It seems that Xbox One Edition stores its files differently than the rest of the editions...
Most of this documentation is actually about the container format.
This took like an hour to make hahah
Note that I use the word UWP even though XB1 LCE isn't UWP, as iirc MS Store does use stuff like app ids
and inside the Microsoft docs some stuff is referenced as UWP.
containers.index
containers.index might be found in the save root (aka where all the game saves are stored for that game).

Save folder structure
{GUID}
Example: {A9E8EB6A-B6F3-45B1-9F09-2A2B062DBC5F}
The GUIDs for each file are stored along with their true filename in the container.# file, check out this for more info
The data in these files are what you would expect to see in a normal LCE Multi-region save, minus the filename.
container.#
Example: container.152
