Using snapshot publishing with Comala Document Management
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Publishing a snapshot using a Comala workflow trigger
Snapshot Publishing can be used as a standalone feature of the Comala Publishing app to create a static snapshots of a page or blog post at specific points in time. Comala Document Management can be used with Comala Publishing to create a snapshot using a Comala Document Management workflow trigger in a workflow applied to the document.
The workflow trigger can be configured to listen for an applied workflow event, such as a change of workflow state, an approval or content expiry and create a snapshot and add the snapshot document to a named snapshot collection in the instance using the snapshot-page macro.
When Comala Publishing is installed together with Comala Document Management, you can also use a workflow trigger to create a snapshot and add the snapshot document as a PDF attachment to the current page using the pdf-export macro.
