Overview

Comala Document Management 7 introduces an improved capability - Document Activity - that is a step change in the way the app stores events such as state changes and reviews. It also provides a powerful new API to enable your teams to get business insight from their document lifecycle.

This significant change requires an upgrade of your existing data in spaces currently with an applied workflow to utilize this capability on content in your existing spaces in Confluence data center
