You'll want to Re-insert the documents at the same uri but add the new/different collection.

You'll want to query the documents using something like cts:search() and then do a xdmp:document-insert(), the 4th parameter is where you put the collection(s).

If it's a lot of do documents you'll want to batch this up in sizes from 10 to 1,000 depending on the size of the documents, if you aren't sure 100 is a good starting place.

If this is a really big amount use corb2.

You can use the function xdmp:document-set-collections() to set the collections a document is in without reinserting it. If you just want to make specific changes, xdmp:document-add-collections() and xdmp:document-remove-collections() can be used to add or remove some collections without modifying the rest.

Like Tyler said, you'll want to batch it up or use corb if there are a lot of documents you want to process.
