Add a destination (target) space for publishing
Overview
A chosen source space must be configured to publish pages to a selected target space using the the Target space dropdown menu in the space settings publishing dashboard.
A space that has an existing publishing configuration as a source space or a target space cannot be added as a target space. Selecting a space with an existing publishing configuration disables the Change button and displays a warning message.
Once a target space is added to the source space publishing dashboard Enable Publishing is automatically enabled in the publishing dashboard and the following publishing options are displayed
Copy content properties (by default, set as enabled)
Enable single page publishing (by default, set as enabled)
Space publishing to publish the whole space
Pages can be published
using space publishing to publish a whole space
by a user to publish a page individually
on transition to an applied Comala workflow final state or using a Comala workflow trigger.
Add a target space for publishing
Choose the space settings Publishing dashboard in your source (draft) space.
For a space with no current target space configured, space administrators can choose the Configure Publishing button to use the space publishing configuration setup tool to add the target space
Choose the Target space dropdown menu to display options for your target space (the published space).
The Target space dropdown menu will automatically display a maximum of 10 spaces
the last 10 spaces accessed by the current user
if less than 10 spaces have been accessed, the menu list will include the last created spaces (to display up to a maximum of 10 in the list)
A space can also be searched by name.
The current user will need to have view and edit permissions for the target space.
Select the target space and choose Save.
On first set up of a target space, an on-screen message confirms the target space is saved.
Adding a target space to the source space publishing dashboard, by default enables the space for publishing and single-page publishing. It also displays the option to publish all the pages in the space.
Any changes in the space publishing configuration are confirmed in an on-screen message.
The target space publishing dashboard also displays confirmation of the successful configuration.
A information dialog box is displayed to a user when editing content in the configured target space. This message advises that any changes may be overwritten the next time the content is published (synced) from the draft space.
Once publishing features are enabled and the target space added pages can be published
individually by a page editor as a standalone publishing action using the publishing byline to open the publishing popup (single-page publishing)
as a whole space by a space administrator using the Publish space option in the space settings Publishing dashboard.
Content can also be published if a Comala Document Management app is installed a workflow is applied to a page
on a Comala workflow trigger event added to a workflow

the Change button is disabled
a warning message is displayed
If the selected space is required as the target space for the current space, the existing publishing configuration must be cleared from this space.
The following popup is displayed when the selected space has a publishing configuration that is disabled.
If the selected space was previously a target space but the previous publishing and sync has been removed, on choosing the popup link to the selected space publishing dashboard you can either
fix the publishing configuration on the previous named source space
clear the publishing configuration on this selected space
Comala workflow applied in the target space
On publishing a page from the source space to a target space page with an applied workflow, the workflow state on the target space page ONLY changes when the target page workflow state has an Updated transition.
If the target space has a space workflow enabled, pages published for the first time will be set to the initial workflow state for the workflow in the target space.
