Move Dashboard / Folder
This page explains moving a dashboard or folder to another folder via the Move action in the Atlas module.
1. Find the Item in the List
Click Atlas in the left menu. Find the dashboard or folder you want to move.
2. More Menu → Move
Click the More (three dots) button on the right of the dashboard card → click Move.
3. Pick the Destination Folder
In the folder tree dialog that opens, pick the destination. The backend calls the move_atlas_item API.
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Click the folder | Sub-folders expand |
| Click the folder name | Pick that folder as destination |
| Root Directory | Move to the root |
4. Move Completes
The move happens immediately, no confirmation dialog. The dashboard appears in the destination folder right away.
Success
On a successful move, the Atlas list updates.
5. Moving Folders
Folders can be moved like dashboards. When a folder is moved, all dashboards and sub-folders inside move along with it.
6. Effect on Sharing and Public Links
Shares Are Preserved
After the move:
- User shares are preserved — recipients keep seeing the dashboard.
- Public links are preserved — the token remains the same; links distributed to all stakeholders keep working.
- Widget bindings (via Cartography ID) are unaffected.
7. Common Errors

|---|---|---|
| Move button is disabled | You are not the owner | Only the owner can move it |
| Destination folder cannot be picked | Tried to move to the same folder | Pick a different destination |
