Info

This is related to an Atlassian issue in some instances where Atlassian generated a long contentID - itcould not be correctly handled by Confluence or certain add-on apps. Atlassian has currently resolved the issue by handling the contentID as a string instead of a number.

The Comala Document Management family of apps has been updated to be able to handle the contentID as a string as well.

Bugfix release

  • fixes some problems when showing pre-assigned reviewers (reviewers assigned by using the workflow builder as shown below) on the Workflow Report

Image Modified              Image Modified

December 16th 2020

We are introducing some security improvements onto the current approvals configuration different setting options.

  • Anyone can approve (no restrictions)
    • from now on, approvals with the configuration Anyone can approve (no restrictions) won't be assignable anymore
    • workflow state dialog will NOT ALLOW reviewers assignation

  • Users can be assigned through the (workflow popup) UI
    • this option allows manual assignation of reviewers by using the workflow state dialog. This will remain working the same as now. → So It will still be possible to leave the approval with no assignees or assign specific reviewers:
Image Modified


Workflow state dialog will ALLOW the assignment of reviewers, but you can add users in the approval editor to allow PRE_ASSIGNMENT of reviewers.

A user with VIEW & EDIT permissions over the content will view enabled approve/reject buttons but these approve/reject buttons are disabled if a user has been assigned but the current logged-in user is NOT ASSIGNED to the approval.


  • Set all reviewers that have to approve
    • from now on, approvals with this configuration won't be assignable anymore. It'll still be mandatory to pre-assign the set of reviewers to the approvalImage Modified

    • workflow state dialog will NOT ALLOW the assignment of reviewers. A user accessing the content who is not assigned as a reviewer will see the approve/reject buttons disabled (greyed out)



October 15th 2020

Now you can set a minimum number of approvals/rejections (whatever happens first) for the approval to transition even when the approval setting is defined as "Set all reviewers that have to approve" (up until now you could set a minimum just for the other two approval settings).

Introducing Comala Document Control (formerly Comala Workflows Lite)

Image Modified

The new name better describes the scope and use of the app. While workflows will continue to play an important role, Comala Document Control offers much more than just approval workflows. Teams are not only using our app to add approvals, they’re using it to add formal document control to their pages. Comala Document Control tells a much more complete story about what our apps can do.

  • Page Workflows: If the space wide workflow is disabled, it will now be possible to select and enable a workflow on individual pages.

    Image Modified
  • New transitions on QMS Workflow: You can now transition from the published state to "In Approval" or "Obsolete".
  • Workflow Template Autoupdate: When the workflow templates are updated (for example in this release adding new transitions to the QMS workflow) this change will apply immediately where this workflow is applied.  Space admins will no longer need to re-enable the workflow to get the updates.


September 6th 2018

  • New Quality Management System (QMS) Workflow. This workflow features:
    • Approvals with E-Signatures. Reviewers need to use their email and password to confirm their identity (this is a compliance requirement). The e-signature does not work with SAML SSO yet. Due to the large amount of identity providers, we will progressively support SAML SSO based on our customers’ demand.
    • Approvers as Space Parameters. Admins can set a list of users or groups as Controlled Document Approvers.

January 26 2017

The latest version of Comala Approvals features a significant update to how Approvals handles user activity. Specifically, Approvals now includes OAUTH user impersonation on all back-end operations. This resolves some existing issues and adds new functionality:

  • Eliminates most add-on user permission problems

  • Webhook transitions are now accurately ascribed to the user who triggered the event

  • Improved permissions validation

As this update includes changes to user permissions, it must be installed manually by the Confluence Administrator; the update will not roll out automatically. Click "update" in the Add-on manager and a pop-up will prompt you to accept and update; if you accept the update the new version of the add-on will be installed on your cloud instance instantly.
