Create a document

Create a document from a previously-uploaded file (via POST /v1/documents/upload-url using `upload_id`) or an external URL.

Update a document

Edit document metadata: rename it, or move it to a different team-library folder. Replacing the file content is a separate operation — use POST /v1/documents/{id}/versions.
