As mentioned by Rob Franco here that Document IDs are constant only if you move a within a site collection.
I have two document libraries within same root site (https://<tenantname>.sharepoint.com/sites/SPODA0557) with Document ID feature enabled.
DocLib01 and DocLib02.
For DocLib01, we get Document ID as SPODA0557-599835869-<ID> and for DocLib02, we get SPODA0557-808576528-<ID>
So now if I move a document with DocID URL as /sites/SPODA0557/_layouts/15/DocIdRedir.aspx?ID=SPODA0557-599835869-9 from DocLib01 to DocLib02 using the NEW MoveTo functionality.
I get a new Document ID and URL (/sites/SPODA0557/_layouts/15/DocIdRedir.aspx?ID=SPODA0557-808576528-10) even though it is in same site collection. So here the earlier DocID URL becomes invalid and break if it is being used by user to reach to a document.
Is this expected behavior for MoveTo functionality in Modern UI ? OR am I missing something ?
I do know earlier https://support.office.com/en-us/article/enable-and-configure-unique-document-ids-ea7fee86-bd6f-4cc8-9365-8086e794c984?ocmsassetID=HA101790471&CorrelationId=40c1acc1-16e4-4c1c-8704-27a382b73c7d&ui=en-US&rs=en-US&ad=US in Site Settings while moving documents. Also if I remember correctly Cut-Paste document via "View in Explorer" also retained the DocID
This helped users to move the documents with-in a site collection without worrying about DocID getting changed and URL also continued to work.
