# core data-file change-space-batch

## qlik core data-file change-space-batch

Batch change data file or folder spaces

### Synopsis

Use this operation to move multiple data files and folders to new spaces in a single
request. Set `spaceId` to `null` for any item to move it to the personal space of its
owner. The response includes the individual result status for each specified item.
This is an administrative operation that bypasses explicit space-level permission requirements.
