move_block
Move a block and its children to a new location in Logseq. Choose to place it as a child or sibling of the target block using block and target IDs for precise organization.
Instructions
Moves a block to a new location in the graph.
Moves a block and all its children to a different location.
- as_child=True: Block becomes a child of the target
- as_child=False: Block becomes a sibling after the target
Args:
block_id: The ID of the block to move.
target_block_id: The ID of the target block to move to.
as_child: Whether to make the block a child of the target (default: False).
Returns:
Result of the move operation.Input Schema
