Snapshot Publishing

Snapshot Publishing is used to create a static copy of a Confluence document at a specific moment in time.

Image Added

Snapshot documents can be organized and shared by adding to one or more snapshot collections.

Each collection can be shared to any users or user groups who are given viewing permission by the creator of the collection - the collection manager. Users can be given permission to contribute snapshots to a collection.

Snapshots can be added to a collection from one or more spaces across the instance. Space administrators can link a collection to their space to allow users in their space (who are contributors to the collection) to add snapshots from the space.

Image Added

Snapshot publishing does not require a space separate to the source Confluence space. Snapshots are stored linked to the space in which they are created but are viewable through the collections global viewer.

Image Added

Viewers only have access to items they need through each themed collection, for example for use as manuals/handbooks. They no longer need access to the content in a draft space.

Image Added

If a Comala Document Management workflow is applied to a document, snapshot publishing can be configured to occur on a workflow event using a workflow trigger.

Snapshot publishing status

A Confluence page will display a snapshot publishing status byline (if snapshot publishing is enabled for the space).

Image Added

Image Added

The popup content is also updated to display

  • the current snapshot publishing status

  • the last snapshot creation date

  • the user who created the snapshot

  • the collections the snapshot is currently added to

A View button is added. This opens the global collection viewer to display all the collections that the current user is able to either view (has been given collection viewer permission) or contribute a snapshot (has been given collection contributer permission).

Managing snapshots in a collection

Snapshots can be organized and shared by creating a Collection and adding chosen snapshots to a Collection. A snapshot can be added to one or more different Collections.

The creator of a Collection (the Collection Manager) can manage the users and usergroups who can

  • view the Collection

  • contribute a snapshot to the Collection

Users who can create a collection must be a space administrator and also added as a member of the Confluence user group added to the global snapshot configuration dashboard.

Snapshots can be added to a collection from any space if

  • the collection is linked the space

  • a user has been contributor permission for the collection

To link an existing collection created in another space, the space administrator must have at least contributor permission for the collection.

Collections can be viewed in Confluence using a Collection global viewer accessed through the Confluence top header menu. Each page snapshot is displayed in pdf or html format.
