version

Comala Publishing Cloud does not support publishing

  • the home page of a space and cannot be used to publish blog posts.

  • custom content properties for Comala Read Confirmations app and Comala Document Management Family of apps

  • the source space Confluence version

The following is also not published from the source space

  • inline comments

  • page-level permissions

  • comments

  • archived pages

The publishing status is copied but is not visible on the content for users with view-only permission.

Content properties are copied by default when publishing a page. This can be disabled for a space in the space settings publishing dashboard.

Page hierarchy

The content will maintain the page hierarchy where possible (but in some instances the order of the content may not necessarily be maintained). If the copying of the hierarchy is not possible then the copy is made to the root of the destination space.

...

If you had previously published a page that had resulted in the page being published into the root of the destination space then any subsequent publishing of the source space page will simply copy the page but not any changes in the page tree parent.

Publishing user permissions

To configure publishing a user needs to have space administrator permission in both the source space and the target space.

...

When publishing space pages

  • a space administrator requires view and edit permission for all the pages in the source space and target space

...

  • a user publishing an individual page needs view and edit permission the page in the source space and target space

A user also needs to have the following permissions in the target space to publish a draft page:

...

Also ensure that in the target space, the page you are publishing does not have any page restrictions limiting your access.

If the space administrator does not have view/edit permission for a page, Comala Publishing will not publish that page

  • the page will not be included in the list of 'Pages not published'  in the source space Publishing dashboard when the space publishing action is complete.
