Problem

When changes have been made in the draft space

  • the View Changes option doesn't report anything other than “No Pending changes”

BUT

  • when then choosing the Publish button, this lists all the content that is pending publication


Why are the two reports not showing the same changes? Does this affect the content that is published?

Problem-solving

Archived content

Some organizations archive draft spaces to prevent Confluence CQL searches showing draft content. 

As the View changes report uses the Confluence CQL search function, this report will not show content that is Archived.

Please check that your draft space is not archived and to allow the View Changes report to display the pending changes simply set the draft space to Current.

Even though the View Changes option is showing no pending changes, there is no affect on publishing. The pending changes listed after choosing the space Publish button will be made to the published space.



Re-index Confluence

If the draft space is not archived, there may be another reason that the Confluence CQL search that the VIew Changes option uses is not returning results.

One simple solution is to try reindexing Confluence.

This is done in

http://<host>:<port/>admin/search-indexes.action


Check the CQL Search results for the report

If the above doesn't solve this problem, the View changes report uses the following CQL search.

http://<host>:<port>/rest/api/search?cql=space IN (<spaceKey>) AND type IN (page, blogpost)


Please run this search to check if the page changes are the search endpoint.

If you can't solve issue by any of the above Comala support will be happy to help.
