move_note_tool
Move notes to new folders or rename them while automatically updating wiki-style links to maintain connectivity in your Obsidian vault.
Instructions
Move a note to a new location, optionally with a new name.
When to use:
Reorganizing notes into different folders
Moving AND renaming in one operation
Archiving completed projects
Consolidating scattered notes
When NOT to use:
Just renaming within same folder (use rename_note for clarity)
Copying notes (use read_note + create_note instead)
Moving entire folders (use move_folder)
Link updating:
Automatically detects if filename changes during move
Updates all [[wiki-style links]] only when name changes
Preserves link aliases and formatting
No updates needed for simple folder moves (links work by name)
Returns: Move confirmation with path changes and link update details
