Space homepage
Comala Publishing cannot publish the space home page (Overview page).
The homepage content is static in each space - you must manually add any content as the page is not published.
If you want manage the original production space homepage content using publishing you will need to
create/copy the production space homepage as a child of the new development space homepage
review your space hierarchy
check the copied page in-page links and dynamic content macros such as children; page tree; content by label
This should be done before the initial publish action from the new development space.
| Tip |
|---|
You can make both the source space homepage and the target space homepage content dynamic by adding Confluence page macros such as Page tree, Children or Content by label macros to each space homepage. |
You must ensure you have an appropriate homepage defined in the published space page hierarchy prior to publishing any content from the new development (DEV) space to the production (PROD) space. Changing a homepage (in either the source or target space) after the initial space publishing action may result in pages to be published to the root of the published space.
