Overview

A user can publish a single page from a Publish option on the page itself.

 

The single page Publish byline option is only displayed if the current space has been linked to a target space in the publishing dashboard, single page publishing is enabled for the space and the user has appropriate permissions for the page

Single page publishing

An existing page in the draft space that has been published will display a PUBLISHED lozenge and a link to the published space content.

  • edit an existing page and Save the changes

 A Publish byline option and an OUT OF SYNC publishing lozenge is added to the draft content

An OUT OF SYNC lozenge is also be added to the linked published space page

To publish changes to an existing single page

  • choose the Publish byline option

A dialog box requests confirmation of the publish and sync for this content. It also displays the target published space name.

  • choose Yes to publish and sync the page

The publish and sync of the single page is confirmed on-screen.

The source and target space pages will both display the PUBLISHED status lozenge.

Source (draft) space page

Target (published) space page

Comala Publishing will display a warning in the editor when attempting to edit on a published page in the target space but you can edit and save changes on this published target space page.

When you next publish the draft version of that page from the source space the content in the target space will be overwritten.

If you are using a Confluence theming app, you will need to ensure the byline that lists the page author, date, etc is visible as this is where the Publish page button is displayed.
