move_folder_tool
Move an entire folder and its contents to a new location in your Obsidian vault for reorganizing, archiving projects, consolidating notes, or seasonal organization.
Instructions
Move an entire folder and all its contents to a new location.
When to use:
- Reorganizing vault structure
- Archiving completed projects
- Consolidating related notes
- Seasonal organization (e.g., moving to year-based archives)
When NOT to use:
- Moving individual notes (use move_note instead)
- Moving to a subfolder of the source (creates circular reference)
