Move/Rename Note
move_noteDestructive
Move or rename a note within your Obsidian vault, preserving content and automatically creating destination folders. Optionally update all internal links to point to the new location, or skip for faster operation on large vaults.
Instructions
Move or rename a note within the vault, preserving its full content. Parent folders at the destination are created as needed. By default, wikilinks and file references are updated, matching Obsidian's "Automatically update internal links" behavior. Pass updateLinks: false to skip the rewrite scan (faster on large vaults; pair with find_broken_links if you need to audit afterward). A .md extension is added automatically if omitted from either path.

| updateLinks | No | If true (default), update every wikilink, markdown link, and canvas node reference across the vault to point at the new path. Set false to skip the rewrite pass. |
