  title: Microsoft Purview Move Found Entities into a Collection
  summary: Search the catalog, then move the discovered entities into a target collection.
  description: >-
    Organizes data assets into a Purview collection. The workflow searches the
    catalog for assets matching a keyword, takes the top result's GUID, moves a
    supplied set of entity GUIDs into the target collection, and reads one moved
    entity back to confirm its new collection. Every step spells out its request
    inline — including the inline OAuth2 bearer token — so the flow can be read
    and executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
