Snapshot Publishing
Snapshot Publishing is used to create a static copy of a Confluence document at a specific moment in time.
Snapshot documents can be organized and shared by adding to one or more snapshot collections. Users can be given permission to contribute snapshots to a collection and Each collection can be shared to any users or user groups who are given viewing permission.
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.
Who can create a snapshot of a space page or blog post?
To snapshot publish a space document you need
permission to view and edit the page or blog post

Snapshot publishing status
A Confluence page will display a snapshot publishing status byline (if snapshot publishing is enabled for the space).
The snapshot publishing byline can be used to open the snapshot publishing popup to create a snapshot and add it to one or more snapshot collections.
The byline is updated to display the current snapshot publishing status for the document.
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.

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
