# Move a card

`POST https://evohub.io/api/v1/board/cards/{cardID}/move`

Part of the [Board API](https://docs.evohub.io/board.md) reference · operationId `moveCard`.

Moves the card into `list_id` (its own list, to reorder it) between
the neighbours named in `placement`. The list must be on the card's
board.

The review gate applies:

| Move | Result |
| --- | --- |
| Into the review list | The card starts waiting for review. |
| Out of the review list while waiting | Refused, **409** `REVIEW_PENDING`: approve or reject it. |
| Into the done list, on a board with a review list | Only if approved; otherwise **409** `REVIEW_REQUIRED`. |
| Anywhere else | Any approval the card had is dropped. |

Requires the `board:card:write` scope.
