Comala Publishing is Data Center and Server compatible
Overview
Comala Publishing provides three ways to manage and share your space content
Space Publishing
Copy Space
Snapshot Publishing
Space Publishing allows between space publishing and lets you keep two spaces in sync
a draft source space where you can make all the content changes you want
a published target space in the same instance that displays the content you want users to see
Using Space Publishing, once a document is published and synced, changes in a document in either the source or target space cause the document publishing status to be out of sync. The publishing and sync can be done either on whole space or page by page basis.
Comala Document Management integration provides the flexibility to publish documents using the publish-page macro in a workflow trigger.
Copy Space lets you make a copy of any space content to a target space within the same instance.
Using Copy Space creates a one-time copy operation with no subsequent sync if content changes in either space.
Snapshot Publishing lets you
create a static versioned document from your dynamic Confluence content
organize these documents as logical groups in one or more collections
view the static version of documents in PDF or HTML view
Confluence macros like Jira Issues, Excerpt Include or Metadata, that display live content will be frozen on each snapshot version.
Collections allows you to
build and manage Collections by document type and user permissions, not space permissions
manage permitted users view access to a versioned, read-only view of Confluence pages
Once a snapshot version is created, changes to the dynamic Confluence cause the document snapshot document status to be displayed as out of sync with the snapshot version.
Comala Document Management integration provides the flexibility to create versioned snapshot documents using the snapshot-page macro in a workflow trigger.
As a space administrator you can
publish content in a draft space (pages and blogs) to a published space in the same instance
track what documents or whole space content are in sync across your draft and published space
publish entire spaces and allow users to publish single pages from your space
copy entire space content to another space in the same instance
enable snapshot publishing in a space to allow creation of static versioned documents of your dynamic Confluence content
You can extend Comala Publishing using a Comala Document Management Family of app workflow to implement more elaborated approval processes. For example, both the space publishing and snapshot publishing actions can be configured to be occur on a transition to a workflow final state.
