Reindex workflow
The option to Reindex workflows of imported spaces should be used whenever a space is imported/migrated from another cloud site or cloud space.
open the dashboard ellipsis menu
choose Reindex Workflows
This re-enables approvals in a migrated or imported space from another cloud site. This action cannot be undone.
| Info |

This is the final step in the cloud-to-cloud space migration/import process. |
Comala Document Approval workflows may not work on the added pages after the import/migration has been completed if the imported space is not reindexed. The document activity for some pages may display the approval state as 'not initialized'.
Document Activity is linked to original users and is not transferred with the migration.
Clear Document Activity
Document Activity clears the approval workflow history for all the pages and blog posts in your space that currently has, or previously had the approval workflow applied.
This option is only available when the approval workflow is enabled in the approval dashboard.

Settings Remove Restrictions
When the approval workflow is active in the space dashboard (enabled), the space administrator can enable the option for the approval workflow to remove any page-level Confluence view and edit permission restrictions form the page on the approval workflow transition to the final state, Approved.

The slider turns blue.
