Calling all Lucid Builders! 🛠️

With Lucid’s new Update Document endpoint, you can skip the pain of tidying up your document library. This new, versatile tool in the Lucid REST API organizes your diagrams and boards to where they need to be.

Why use the Update Document endpoint?

Organization is the foundation of a scalable workflow. As teams grow, keeping document titles consistent and file structures logical becomes a massive task. Instead of clicking through the UI to rename files or drag them into folders, this endpoint lets you build those rules directly into your custom apps. Whether you're syncing with a CRM or building a custom archiving bot, this is your primary tool for programmatic maintenance.

What’s in your toolkit?

By sending a PATCH request to /documents/{id}, you can gain total control over your asset metadata to do the following

  • Dynamic Renaming: Programmatically update a document’s title. This is a lifesaver for adding project codes or version numbers to files automatically.
  • Smart File Routing: Reorganize your workspace by moving documents between folders  simply by updating the parent ID.
