| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What does it do? | Edit a tab with typed operations. |
| What does it take? | A JSON body of type EditBoardTabBody. |
| What does it return? | Status 200 with a body of type BoardWriteResult. |
| What can go wrong? | 400 the body is not valid; 401 not signed in; 403 boards are not turned on for this organisation (boards.not_enabled), the caller may look but not change it (boards.forbidden), or the request came from an origin that may not make changes; 404 no such organisation, board or tab, or the board is not open to the caller: the cases look alike; 409 the tab changed since the version sent (diagram.version_conflict, details.currentVersion), the board has as many tabs as it may (boards.tab_limit), the last tab cannot go (boards.last_tab), or the organisation is on legal hold (orgs.legal_hold); 413 the source is longer than a tab may be (boards.source_too_long), or the board holds as much as it may (boards.storage_full); 422 the source has errors (diagram.invalid, the diagnostics in details), an edit did not apply (boards.operation_failed, details.results), or it holds something that looks like a secret and the organisation blocks them (boards.secret_blocked); 429 too many requests; 503 organisations or boards are not set up on this server. Every failure uses the one error envelope. |
What it does
Applies edit_diagram operations to the tab on the board, on its current source. Made against an older version, the operations are applied to the current one when they still apply; if any does not, none is kept and the answer is 409 diagram.version_conflict with the results. The result parses, passes the secret scan, and every open browser gets it with what changed.
