# Update Document Content

`PUT /api/folders/documents/{document_id}/content`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://app.thinqos.com` (the document declares no server; this is the origin it was published from)
- URL: `https://app.thinqos.com/api/folders/documents/{document_id}/content`
- Auth: none declared

Save edited document text - the Documents editor's write path (TOS-2415).

See ``services/document_content.py`` for the full fan-out (history, persist,
re-vectorize, Mind refresh).

Personal docs: only the owner may edit. Shared docs: edit/admin rung.
Only ``document_kind='text'`` documents whose original (if any) is itself
text are editable; binary-derived documents 409.
