Page Mode
- Robert Alexander Marshall
Overview
In page mode, workflows are applied on a page-by-page basis, so each page has its own unique workflow template
end-users choose which workflow to apply to an individual page or blog post
the workflow template selected by the user is cloned to a page, the original template is unchanged
user changes to the workflow added to a page only affect the page it s used on
the updated workflow can be saved as a new space or global workflow template (if the user has space or global admin permissions)
an active space workflow is applied even if a page workflow has been previously applied to a page or blog post
Page mode application of workflow is great for development, testing and training, but it is difficult to manage!
How do I enable page mode?
If enabled, a user can add a workflow to an individual page.
page workflows for content in the space must be enabled by Confluence global administrators
the individual user needs at least view and edit permission for the page to add a page workflow
The Add Workflow option is only displayed in the page action menu if there are no space mode workflows active in the space and applied to the page.
Enabling a workflow at space level applies the space workflow in preference to any existing page workflow applied to a page or blog post.
Page workflow templates
Space admins can limit the workflow templates that be used in a space by
accessing the Document Management tab in space tools.
choosing the List drop-down Page Workflow Templates option.
The page workflow templates in the dashboard are either
global scope workflows - workflows enabled in the global workflows dashboard by a global administrator
space scope workflows - workflows added by a space administrator
Space admins can
make any space scope or global scope page workflow template active or inactive in the space
remove a space scope page workflow page template from the space
Page workflow templates are listed even if the space has been globally configured to restrict the use of page mode.
Even if all page workflow templates are removed or inactive in a space, users can still add a workflow with custom states as a page workflow.
Where do I manage page workflow templates?
On pages or blog posts
There's also a repository of templates in Space Tools
