Overview

Comala Document Management Cloud, /wiki/spaces/CAD/pages/13933903873 or Comala Document Approval can be added to pages in a space configured as a target space for publishing.

Publishing a page to the target space creates a new page version in the target space

  • a page published for the first time to a target space with an active space workflow will have a workflow applied with the page in the initial state of the workflow

  • publishing an existing page will cause the workflow to change only if the current workflow state includes an Updated transition

  • all other target page applied workflow events will not cause any change in the publishing status for the page including

Publishing updates will not remove document activity on the target space page.

Publishing is recognized as a page update in the target space, the workflow has an Updated transition in the Review state that listens for this event and transitions the workflow.

Publishing the source space page only causes a change in the workflow applied to a target space page when the current applied workflow state includes an Updated transition. In our example this is the Review state and the Approved state

Changes in the applied workflow do not change the current publishing sync status

  • changing state

  • assigning/unassigning reviewers

  • approving/rejecting the page

  • expiry of workflow state
