- Comala Publishing for Confluence Cloud
Overview
In the source space, you can manually publish each page using the publishing byline and publishing popup.

You will also need view and edit permissions for both the source space and the target space.
When publishing permissions in the space are set to use the Comala Publishing for Confluence Cloud app add-on user, the publishing user does not need target space permissions to publish a page. Instead, publishing relies on the app add-on user’s permissions in the target space
If you publish a document using a Comala workflow added to the page, you can consider disabling single-page publishing.
When a space is enabled for publishing and a target space has been set, standalone single-page publishing is enabled by default for each space.
