View changes - space tools
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Overview
You can view changes made to pages in your space before you publish it.
The View Changes option appears only after the space has been configured for publishing. This can be configured through the Configure Settings options.
Once you start creating/updating/deleting pages within a draft space, you will be able to see changes you've made in the space tools Publishing dashboard.
Viewing the report
in Publish Space tab in the space tools Publishing dashboard
choose View Changes button

Note the content of View Change will change if the Configure settings for publishing are changed.
The View Changes option appears only after the draft space is published for the first time.

A user with global administrator permissions will be able to publish everything in a space, even if the Publishing report is not showing all pages.
This could happen in the unlikely case a user creates a page and applies view restrictions for a user who is a global administrator
However, the page will be accessible by the global administrator because they are able to access the page overriding any restrictions and pages will be published no matter what restrictions may be in place on a per-page basis.
