+Moving Namespaces
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+You can move a namespace within the same datastore to reorganize the hierarchy. Moving the root
+namespace is not allowed, and cross-datastore moves are not supported.
+
+Requirements and limits:
+
+- Source namespace must exist and must not be the root
+- Target parent namespace must exist and the final destination must not already exist
+- You cannot move a namespace into one of its own sub-namespaces
+- The resulting depth cannot exceed the maximum depth
+
+Notes:
+
+- On local filesystems, moves are typically fast.
+- On S3-backed datastores (see :ref:`datastore_s3_backend`), moves may take longer and incur API
+  costs, as objects are re-written under a new prefix. For example, ``.cnt/a/b/...`` moved to
+  target namespace ``x/b`` becomes ``.cnt/x/b/...``.
