Publish a page on transition to a Comalatech workflow final state

Overview

You can publish a page in a draft space by transitioning the content to the final state in a Comalatech workflow.

You need to have

• the Comala Publishing app enabled in the draft space
• an app from the Comala Document Management Family added to the draft instance

You must have

• added a target space for the published content in the space settings of the draft space
• an active Comalatech workflow on the content. The workflow must have a final state
• view and edit permission for both the draft space and the target space for publishing
  
  

Publish a page

Transition the content to the final state in the workflow.

In the example below the final state in this workflow is the Approved state.

The content in the draft space transitions to the final state of the applied workflow.

Additional on-screen messages confirm the publication of the current content to the target space defined in the space settings Publishing dashboard.

Navigate to the target space to view the published content and the location in the hierarchy.

If the page is the first to be published in the target space, it is copied to the root of the target space.

An on-screen message in the draft space will warn the user that the current page has been copied to the root of the target space. The target space is identified by the space key in the message.

Where possible the publishing of content to the target space will maintain the hierarchy of the draft space.

However, the Comala Publishing app will not override any previously published hierarchy for the content in the target space. It will simply update the content without any changes to the target space hierarchy.
