# Edit Folder

`PUT /folders/{folder_id}`

Rename or move a folder.

Use this endpoint to change a folder's `slug`, `name`, or
`parent_id`. The `id` in the request body must match the path
parameter or the call returns `400`. Name and path-uniqueness rules
from create apply: invalid names return `400`, a path collision
returns `409`, and a missing `parent_id` returns `404`.

## Path parameters

- `folder_id` string, uuid, required
