`PATCH /user/diagrams/{id}`

## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | File a hosted diagram in a folder. |
| What does it take? | A JSON body of type [`MoveDiagramBody`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#movediagrambody). |
| What does it return? | Status 204 with no body. |
| What can go wrong? | `400` the folder path is not valid; details says why; `401` not signed in; `403` the request came from an origin that may not make changes; `404` no such diagram; `409` the diagram is locked (hosting.diagram_locked); details says when and that you can unlock it; `429` too many requests. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |

## What it does

Moves the diagram into a folder (a path such as Payments/Checkout, up to five levels and forty characters a name) or to the top level with null. An invalid path is a 400 with the reason, never rewritten. The link and the expiry do not change. A diagram that is not yours is a 404.

## Path parameters

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `id` | `string` | yes |  |

## Request body

The body has the type [`MoveDiagramBody`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#movediagrambody).

| Field | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `folder` | `string \| null` | yes | The folder to file the diagram in, or null for the top level. |
