Actions for Obsidian › Actions › Rename/Move Note

Renames or moves a note.

This action will throw an error if the specified note doesn’t exist, so it’s best to use it after the “Check For Existence Of Note” action has determined that it does exist.

Parameters

Vault

The vault to work in.

Type: Vault reference

Current File Path

The path of the note, relative to the vault root.

Type: Text

New File Path or Name

If the new file path contains a folder structure, that folder structure must exist, i.e. it won’t be created automatically.

If the new file path is the same as the original one, nothing happens.

If the new file path already exists, an error is returned. If the new file path specifies a destination folder that does not exist, an error is returned.

Please note that to move the note to a new folder, you’ll need to specify the full destination path, i.e. folder and file name.

Type: Text

Examples

Current file path Note, new file path Great Note:
Note Note.md is renamed to Great Note.md.

Current file path Note, new file path /Great/Note:

  • If the folder /Great/ exists: Note.md is moved from its place at the root level of the vault into the folder /Great/.
  • If the folder /Great/ does not exist: An error.
