Seeking official documentation confirming File ID (URL) stability during cross-domain moves

I am looking for official Google documentation that explicitly states that the File ID (and thus the document URL) remains unchanged when a file is moved across organizations (e.g., from My Drive in Org A to a Shared Drive in Org B).

Based on my testing, when I move a Google Sheet from one organization to another using the Drive UI, the URL stays exactly the same.

However, I need to provide an official source or a specific sentence in the documentation to my stakeholders to prove that this is a guaranteed specification, not just a side effect of current tools.

Any pointers to specific documentation or official blog posts would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!
