Overview

The remoteremove-page macro is used as an action to remove previously published content from a space on a different Confluence Server, Data Center or Cloud instance.

content is developed in a space on the source server
published content is pushed to a space on a remote server
the remoteremove-page macro can remove the published content from the remote server

This is generally only required when content becomes obsolete and should be removed from the remote published content.

Parameter

Required

Default

Notes

config_name

The name of the remote publishing configuration to use.

remoteremove=<config_name>

where config_name is the name of the remote publishing profile added to the Document Management dashboard remote publishing configuration.

The configuration defines the remote server URL and destination space, as well as the username and password for an account on that server which has Edit Content permissions in the target space.

Basic example

This example will remote publish to a remote Confluence instance defined by the MyDestination publishing configuration.

{trigger:statechanged|state=Published}
      {remotepublish-page:MyDestination}
{trigger}

Once published, the user will have an option to unpublish the page. This can be done using the workflow popup on the source space page to transition the content to the Unpublish state submit=Unpublish.

The trigger added to listen for this state transition and action the removal uses the remoteremove-page macro.

{trigger:statechanged|state=Obsolete}
      {remoteremove-page:MyDestination}
{trigger}

The published page is removed from the remote Confluence instance. From the Unpublished state, they can either republish it, or make it obsolete.

Here's the full markup for the example workflow:

{workflow:Remote-space publishing}
   {state:Editing|submit=Review}
   {state}
   {state:Review|approved=Published|rejected=Editing}
      {approval:Review}
   {state}
   {state:Published|updated=Editing|final=true|submit=Unpublish}
   {state}
   {state:Unpublish|approved=Published|rejected=Obsolete|hidefrompath=true|updated=Editing}
      {approval:Page Unpublished|approvelabel=Republish|rejectlabel=Make Obsolete}
   {state}
   {state:Obsolete|submit=Editing|updated=Editing}
   {state}
   {trigger:statechanged|state=Published}
      {remotepublish-page:MyDestination}
   {trigger}
   {trigger:statechanged|state=Obsolete}
      {remoteremove-page:MyDestination}
   {trigger}
{workflow}

The final=true parameter on the Published state is not required for remote-space publishing, however it helps to clarify which versions of content are published in the source space.
