Linking the source space for the draft space content and the target space for publishing |
Overview
Once you have installed the Comala Publishing app you can use Publishing to sync two spaces in your instance: one as a draft space and the other as the published space.
Draft the draft space is for all content additions and editing Published and is your space publishing source space
the published space shows the published content and is the space publishing target space
Content in the draft space source space is published to a published the target space.
In the your current space, the space administrator can choose to

This links the current space as a published space (the target space) to the draft space (the source space) from which the draft content will be published. |
If you have existing public space in your instance and want to retain this for public viewing, you can initially use the Comala Publishing Copy Space option to copy this space content to a new space. The new space can then be configured as the source space to publish and sync content to the original space as the target space.

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 source space home page you can configure the draft source space Publish settings to ignore the top-level pages in the draft this source space when publishing. This setting also means that any orphan pages that exist in the draft source space will not be published.
Comala Publishing is not designed to publish a page that is the child of the source space homepage to be a child of another space homepage. If you publish a page whose parent does not exist in the target space it becomes an orphan in the published space.
