Empower users with self-service

USE CASE

Knowledge bases provide a central repository of information that is easily accessible to users. It is essential to keep them current since information changes over time. Comala Publishing keeps draft and published information separate without disrupting the published content that your users rely on. You have the flexibility of publishing a single page or a complete set of updated documents at once.

What are ways teams benefit?

Improve performance and productivity by providing up-to-date information so users can find the information they need quickly and easily without asking for help from others. This can free up time to focus on other tasks and reduce the need for a support ticket.

Reduce the learning curve for employees by providing an onboarding space that conveys essential information to learn about their roles and the organization’s mission and values.

Facilitate real-time collaboration with a single source of truth. Integrate with Comala Document Management so teams can review and approve information before automatically publishing it to a broader audience. Requiring team members' input fosters better communication and cooperation.

Document publishing

Comala Publishing allows you to edit draft pages in one space and then publish these pages in another space on the same Confluence Cloud site.

Comala Publishing Cloud can only publish Confluence Cloud pages. Comala Publishing Cloud cannot publish blog posts.

To get started

install Comala Publishing by getting started on the Atlassian Marketplace or through “find new apps” in your Confluence instance
in the draft content space, your source space for publishing content, open the space settings Comala Publishing dashboard
- link two spaces, the current one as your draft source space; another as your published target space
- configure your publishing

Comala Publishing is designed to publish content from a source space to an empty target space! The space permissions can easily manage access to your published page content in the target space.

undertake an initial publish and sync of all the pages in your source space using the Publish space option

Published pages

The published page replaces links to local pages in the source space with links to pages in the destination target space.

The first publish action creates a published page version of v.1. Subsequent publishing of the source page increments the published page version.

Synced pages & bylines

Configuring a target space adds a Comala Publishing publishing state byline to the header of each page within the source and target spaces.

Aligning with Confluence permissions, the publishing byline is only visible to users with view and edit permissions.
