As an editor, I would like to be able to change the name and URL of a section and allow all the conent circulated to the old section ID to exist at the new section ID. Currently, the only way to rename a section is to create a new section, recirculate all the content and then delete the old section.

We are working on a set of "bulk update" options for circulation and other data. The major challenge here is that updating sections would force a cache clear on all objects circulated to it, which can be quite punishing to the system.
The first piece of our solution was completed in Q3, which was the ability to submit updates to Draft API at different levels of "priority", including the ability to delay cache clearing on some updates. The second piece should be completed by Jan 2026, which is the ability to group together a list of changes into a "release" which can be scheduled to run a lower "priority" until all changes are made, and the cache clear all the updates.
