Update Document

Endpoint

PUT /api/open/documents/:id

Updatable fields

• title
• slug
• content
• excerpt
• order
• published
• parentId
• categoryId for top-level documents

Important rules

• A document cannot become its own parent.
• A document cannot be moved under its own descendant.
• If the document becomes a child node, its category follows the new top-level branch.
• If the category of a top-level document changes, the subtree category is synchronized recursively.

Recommendations

• Treat hierarchy changes as a structural operation and validate them carefully.
• If you expose this capability externally, record audit logs for parent/category changes.
