<summary>Move a part of your stake (alpha tokens) to another validator</summary>

With subnet staking, when you want to change validator, you can opt to move a part of your staked alpha tokens to another validator while keeping the other on the initial validator. This can be done by enabling the toggle next to the "**Change staking amount**" field.
