## TL;DR

| Question | Answer |

| What does it return? | Status 201 with a body of type [`DocumentPlacementAnswer`](https://docs.plotwork.dev/api/schemas.md#documentplacementanswer). |
| What can go wrong? | `400` a field is not valid (documents.invalid); details.field names it; `401` not signed in; `403` not the owner or an admin (orgs.forbidden), the plan does not include it (plan.documents_not_included), or the origin may not make changes; `404` no such organisation, diagram, placement or file, or the caller is not a member; `409` google Drive is not connected (documents.no_drive), the diagram may not leave the library (documents.confidential, documents.restricted, documents.pending), or the organisation has 200 placements (documents.limit); `429` too many requests; `502` google refused or could not be reached (documents.google_failed); `503` placing diagrams in documents is not available on this server (documents.unavailable).
