# Move Widget

`POST /api/v1/dashboards/{dashboard_id}/widgets/{widget_id}/move`

Move a widget to another dashboard (same or different tab).

Reassigns the widget's ``dashboard_id`` and gives it a fresh grid
``position`` on the destination (preserving its ``w``/``h``). The
``DashboardTemplateSync`` LEDGER IS NEVER TOUCHED: it is a per-``(dashboard,
template)`` tombstone with no ``widget_id`` (and many widgets can share a
``source_ref``), so repointing it would delete the source tombstone and
cause the re-seed we prevent. The moved ``Widget`` records its own
destination presence; the source tombstone stays as immutable history.

## Path parameters

- `dashboard_id` string, uuid, required
- `widget_id` string, uuid, required

## Request body

- WidgetMoveRequest — Relocate a widget to another dashboard (same or different tab). A dedicated action — ``update_widget`` is path-scoped and 404s a cross-dashboard write.
