 Release Notes

What’s New in 3.0

Comala Publishing has extended its functionality by adding a new feature - Snapshot Publishing

The new Snapshot Publishing feature can be used to create static versions of a Confluence document at specific moments in time, ensuring that the content remains unchanged and compliant with regulatory or quality standards.

Snapshot Publishing introduces Collections, our purpose-built document repositories that makes it easier to distribute FAQs, policies, and other documentation

  • Confluence macros like Jira Issues, Excerpt Include or Metadata, that display live content will be frozen on each snapshot document version

  • Build and manage Collections by document type and user permissions, not space permissions

  • Publish one page to many Collections or many pages to one Collection

  • Display page metadata

  • Manage version control

  • Access previous versions

  • Choose between HTML or PDF snapshot view in a global collections viewer

  • Work seamlessly with Comala Document Management to create versioned snapshot documents using the snapshot-page macro in a workflow trigger

What's New in 2.7

What's New in 2.2

Say hello to Comala Publishing.  Same great add-on, new name and logo.

 

We are changing the name of our add-ons to make it easier to identify Comalatech add-ons in the Atlassian marketplace.  Ad hoc Publishing will now be known as Comala Publishing.  All existing licenses are still valid, and integrations with Workflows will work as before.  Upgrading to this version should be via the plugin manager as normal.

What's New in 2.1

Ad hoc Workflow Integration Improvements

 

There is a new option in the space configuration that lets you publish pages in the final workflow state only. This makes it easier to transition from using Ad hoc Workflows publishing to using space publishing, or to take a copy of your space that only includes the approved pages at a given point in time.

We have also added a new configuration option to control the display of the published-page lozenge. If you are are using Ad hoc Workflows to control the publishing of pages to a different space, the published indicator from the Ad hoc Publishing plugin can be hidden to avoid confusion.

 

 

 

Draft Space Indicator

A new indicator has been added to publishing draft spaces. You can disable this in space configuration, if required.

What's New in 2.0

Ad hoc Publishing 2.0 is a commercial upgrade to the existing free Content Publishing Plugin. 

We have introduced some new features to improve the experience using the plugin on its own, revamped the UI and provided updates for publishing as part of your workflow through the Ad hoc Workflows plugin.

In converting to a commercial model for this plugin, Comalatech commits to devoting the developer time necessary to maintain compatibility with each new release of Confluence, addressing long-standing issues and developing new features.

Keep two spaces in sync by creating a draft space for all your edits and a public space for all your published content. 

Single Page Publishing

It is now possible to publish one page at a time from your draft space to your published space directly from the draft page.  Publishing previously only allowed for the whole space to be published at once in its entirety, unless you had Comalatech's Ad hoc Workflows.

Integration with Ad hoc Workflows is still supported: this allows you to specify that a page must go through an approval or sign-off process before being published.

Page Status Display

We've added a new lozenge that will appear alongside the page title. It states whether a page is currently published, or has unpublished changes.  It is only visible to users who can edit the page on the draft space. This way authors know the current state of the page no matter which version they are viewing.

We have also taken the hassle out of setting up a link between the draft space and the published space.  While previously possible using custom space themes coupled with using various macros, a link to the corresponding space just displayed by default. Like the page status lozenge, it is only visible to users who can edit the draft version of a page.

Support for page renaming

In this 2.0 release we revamped the way the single page publishing works, so page renaming now works as you would expect it to. A (now past) long-standing issue with Publishing was that renamed pages were not correctly updated on the published space, such that a rename would leave both an old page and create a new, renamed, one. This is no longer the case. 

(For existing spaces, this feature will be available after you have published a page the first time using 2.0 release.)
