Welcome to Comala Publishing

Overview

Comala Publishing allows you to manage and share your space content and keep your draft and published Confluence documentation separate. This supports teams in collaborating on draft content development without compromising your approved public content.

Comala Publishing includes

• Space Publishing

  • publish and sync pages and blog posts between spaces in the same instance

• Copy Space

  • make a one-off copy of pages and blog posts from one space to another space in the same instance

• Snapshot Publishing

  • create static versioned documents from your dynamic Confluence page content and manage user access using collections

Comala Publishing space publishing and snapshot publishing integration with Comala Document Management provides automated document lifecycle processes.

The space administrator has the key role in configuring and managing publishing. The space administrator can

• link two spaces in the same instance for publishing - a source space and a target space

• publish the whole space content (pages and blogs) from the source space to the target space for published content

• track what documents or whole space content are in sync across the source and target space

• allow users to publish single pages from the space

• copy entire space content to another space in the same instance

• enable snapshot publishing in a space to allow the creation of static versioned documents of your dynamic Confluence content

• create and manage snapshot collections by document type and user permissions, not space permissions

• manage permitted users' view access to a versioned, read-only view of Confluence pages

Automate the documentation process by

• configuring space publishing options for whole space publishing to publish only the latest approved workflow final state version for each document

• publishing a document to a target space on an applied workflow event using the publish-page macro in a workflow trigger

• publishing versioned snapshot documents using the snapshot-page macro in an applied workflow trigger to a named snapshot collection

• publishing a snapshot document using the pdf-export macro in an applied workflow trigger to add the snapshot as a pdf attachment to the page
