We would love to be able to move Doc pages to other Docs as pages or subpages!

Hi there, moving a page into another Doc is possible in ClickUp today. If your page has subpages, those will also move over when moving them to another Doc.
You can do this by clicking the 3 dots next to the page you want to move, selecting Move to, and then selecting the Doc you want the page to move to!

Pär Törnell
Brent The choices are:
Task
List, Folder or Space
Sidebar.
There is no "Docs", neither for the doc or for the pages
Brent
Hi Pär Törnell, those choices appear upon attempting to move an entire Doc to a new location. To move just a page, you'll want to select the three dots menu next to a page in the pages sidebar then select "Move to".
Our Help Center article has more details: https://help.clickup.com/hc/en-us/articles/6325436135191-Page-Settings-Menu
We understand this can be a bit confusing today, so we're actively working on improving this experience!

Brent, this shouldn't be marked as complete, because, I believe, the request has been misunderstood, due to the slightly confusing terminology that doesn't make clear the distinction between Docs and Pages.
What Pär Törnell apparently wanted and what I came here looking for is the ability to convert an existing Doc into the sub-Page of another existing Doc, effectively merging them. This doesn't appear to be possible at the moment without awkward multi-step workarounds.
The best remedy would be to list other Docs as potential destinations for a move (alongside Task, List/Folder/Space, and Sidebar).
My own use case: We are only allowed to designate one Doc as our Wiki (for use with your AI), so we want to centralise most of company-wide documentation in our designated Wiki Doc, but sometimes new Docs are created elsewhere and we'd like an easier way to fix that by moving them into the Wiki Doc without losing anything.

the lack of this feature makes clickup completly useless as a knowledge base. Every file system is better than this. Not being able to move documents and folders around as wished is just ridiculous

When will we have this feature?

BTW, this shall be probably merged with this one:

Implementing this would be more efficient for the user, helping with organization.
Use Case:
You have two main docs in the doc view. (image)
Both main docs have pages and subpages within them.
User wants to combine both main docs into one main doc, so they want to move main doc 1 into main doc 2.
Ultimately main doc 1 becomes a subpage of main doc 2.
In addition it would be great if this can be done by clicking the ellipses to move the doc into other docs.
Currently this way only allows to move the doc b/w spaces.

Dean Phillips what is the planned timeframe? Right now - for us - fixing the issue whereby we cannot move pages that are referenced by '@@@' links in tasks (without breaking the link) is critical to our business operation to upgrade our documentation.
I have outstanding defect (bug) with this one in your queue.

Dean Phillips: any news on this? it's been nine months since mark as planned...

I recently discovered this limitation after finally starting to use docs for a couple weeks. The current workaround is to add a blank page, and then suddenly the ellipses button has a "move to" option. And then just delete the extra blank page you created.

Stephanie Henry: This works, but it is actually a pity that you need to do that in an app that intends to replace Wiki apps.

I start a doc in a task and then want to file the doc in a hierarchy of nested docs and pages. Seems simple to me. But instead I see the doc in my main list of docs.
A
Alberto Alonso
Gil Anspacher: This is actually the use case we want: create a doc while working on the task and once finished move that doc to the knowledge base while keeping the relationship between the task and the document.
Very obvious and very difficult to achieve in ClickUp.
G
Gil Anspacher
Alberto Alonso: Yes, that workflow, along with a range of others in project management would greatly benefit from this feature.

Can move doc pages right now but the pre-existing reference links break when they've been setup as "@@@" links from a task to the docpage prior to the move of that page to another doc.
