Page-level permissions on the target space page
When publishing and syncing existing published pages, the space administrator must have view and edit permission on the target space pages.
A space administrator cannot publish and sync a source space page to a target space page with an edit or view restriction for the publishing user.
For example:
publishing to a target space page with an edit restriction for the publishing user
the publishing action identifies the target page exists
edit restriction prevents publishing
displays an error message
publishing to a target space page with a view and edit restriction for the publishing user
restrictions prevent publishing action syncing to the existing page
creates a new page alternate target space page with same name but appended with a number in brackets
a user in the target space with view permission sees both the original published page <Pagename> and the newly published page <Pagename>(2)
subsequent publishing syncs to the new page <Pagename>(2)
publishing by a user with no target space restrictions for the page causes a publishing error
removal of the page restrictions without removing the alternate page causes a publishing conflict
one of the target space pages must be removed to prevent publishing conflicts
if the original <Pagename> is removed, a subsequent publishing action removes the appended number brackets on the alternate <Pagename>(2) page
See Errors publishing to a target space page with page restrictions for details on how to resolve the publishing conflict.
