# MoveSegment

## Description

Change the current segment boundaries. This command open the Move segment dialog and allows you to move segment(s) to another address. Use it if the segment(s) are loaded at a wrong address. This command shifts (moves) the selected segments in the memory to the target address. There must be enough free space at the target address for the segments. All information in the segment will be moved to the new address, but since the addresses change, the disassembly might be not valid anymore (especially if the program is moved to the wrong addresses and the relocation information is not available).

### Fix up the relocated segment

This option allows IDA to modify the references to/from the relocated segment(s). If it is turned off, the references might be wrong after the move.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.hex-rays.com/ida-actions/movesegment.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
