# contentControls.move

> Move a content control to a new position: before or after another SDT, to the document start or end, or to an arbitrary caret inside a paragraph (the inParagraph destination) for drag-and-drop. Direct moves preserve the original ID; tracked-mode authoring supports safe top-level block SDTs (SDT-to-SDT destinations only) and remaps the destination SDT ID to avoid duplicate live anchors.



- Member path: `doc.contentControls.move(…)`
- Mutates document: yes
- Idempotency: `conditional`
- Supports tracked mode: yes
- Supports dry run: yes

## Expected result

Returns a ContentControlMutationResult with the updated target position. Tracked-mode results include `trackedChangeRefs` pointing at the paired move review entity.
