Overview

Space Publishing

Content can be published and synchronized across a whole space by a space admin. The space admin can allow users to also publish a single page in the space. Publishing can also be configured to only publish space content that is in the final workflow state of an applied Comala Document Management app workflow.

Info

To publish a draft page or space you must have

from one space to another space in the same instance.

Space Publishing is used to copy and sync space content from a source space to a target space.

  • a target space must first be linked to the source space for space publishing

A space administrator can copy and publish all the space content content in a single publish action. The space administrator can also allow users with edit permission to copy and publish individual pages.

If a Comala Document Management workflow is applied to a document, publishing can also be configured to occur on a transition to the workflow final state.

Publishing status

After linking the source space and target space in the space publishing configuration, the source space documents publishing status is set as NEW.

Once an initial copy and publish action has occurred, each document will be synced and the document status will be PUBLISHED.

A change in either a source space document or target space document will set the the document status to OUT OF SYNC.

The publishing status lozenges are displayed by default on both the source space content and the target space content (for users with admin or edit permission for the content in that space).

Deleting a published document from the source space will set the target space document status as REMOVED. Deleting a published document from the target space sets the source space document as NEW.

What is copied and published?

Space Publishing can be configured to include

  • pages, blogposts, top-level pages

The publish and sync action can also be set to include

  • labels, content properties, version comments, display/hide the publishing status lozenges

You can also choose to match labels on content in each space, delete any content found in the target space, copy page restrictions and replace source space references in the published content to the target space references.

A label can be set by a global administrator as a sync-label. This sync-label can then used to determine which content to publish in a space publishing action.

The content to be published and synced for Space Publishing is configured separately to the copy space configuration options.

Check the Display Publishing Status Lozenge option to enable the display of the lozenge.

If you have Comala Document Management installed it may be useful for clarity to hide the publishing lozenge.

In the target space the display of the publishing status lozenge is based on the current user Confluence permissions for the content in the source space.

  • if the current user has view permission for the source content, they will see the lozenge and a link to the draft page on the target space content

  • if the current user does not have view permission for the source content, the publishing lozenge is not displayed and there is no link to the draft content on the target space content 

Info

Global administrators can configure the list of spaces that can be published.
