Tip

Comala Publishing is not designed to publish a page that is the child of the draft space homepage to be a child of another space homepage. If you publish a page whose parent does not exist in the published space it becomes an orphan in the published space.

When first publishing a draft space configure publishing to delete content added in the published space to

  • remove the published space home page

  • replace the deleted published space home page with a copy of the draft space home page

  • set this published page as the published space home page

If you don't want to publish the draft space home page you can configure the draft space Publish settings to ignore the top-level pages in the draft space when publishing. This setting also means that any orphan pages in the draft space will not be published.
