Summary

Move a document to a different collection or under a new parent document within the Outline Wiki.

Inputs

  • Collection ID — UUID of the collection to move the document into. Optional if moving under a new parent document.
  • Parent Document ID — UUID of the new parent document under which to move the document. Omitting this moves the document to the root of the specified collection.

Output shape

Set 'Document ID' to the target document, set 'Collection ID' to the destination collection UUID, leave 'Parent Document ID' empty.

Example 2: Move a document under a new parent document

Set 'Document ID' to the target document, optionally set 'Collection ID' if moving to a different collection, and set 'Parent Document ID' to the new parent document's UUID.
