Publishing byline state and page changes
A source space page and the published page of the target space will remain in sync until a user action triggers an Atlassian page update event.
User actions on a published and synced page
The following user actions on a published page in either the source or target space affect the publishing state and cause a SYNCEd page to move to a move to a different publishing state such asout of sync.
A page may need to be refreshed after the change to display the updated publishing state byline.
User action | Sets publishing state as: | Notes |
|---|---|---|
Edit a page (in either source space or target space) | out of sync |
|
Move a page in the source space that includes a change in the hierarchy | out of sync |
|
Move a page in the target space that includes a change in the hierarchy | no change in status |
|
Add label
| out of sync |
|
Remove label
| out of sync |
|
Add attachment

|
Delete attachment

|
Check or uncheck the box for any macro, for example, task macro
| out of sync | Multiple changes in a macro in a short period of time, for example, checking several tasks as completed, may only cause one Confluence update as Confluence Cloud may process these changes in a batch process. |
Archive published page in the source space | If the page is archived in the source space
| Any edits to the target space page whilst the source space page is archived will cause the publishing status on the target space page to be out of sync. Restoring a page from the archive sets the publishing status to out of sync on each page and enables the page to be published and synced from the source space. |
Archive published page in the target space | If the page is archived in the target space
| An edit to the source space page, while the target space page is archived, causes the publishing state to be out of sync on the source space page. |
Delete a published and synced page from the source space | If a previously published page is deleted from the source space
 | Publishing the source space page creates a new page even if the deleted target space page has been ‘restored from trash’.* |
Delete published and synced page from the target space | If the page is deleted from the target space

Restored page from source space Trash
| A ‘restored from trash’ source space page will be restored with the publishing state at the time of deletion (if there have been no changes to the target space page) The publishing popup will include a link to the target space page |
|
Restored page from target space Trash
| A ‘restored from trash’ target space page is restored with the publishing status at the time of deletion (if there have been no changes to the source space page). The source space page retains the NEW publishing status until a new publishing action.
| If a new page has been created by a publish action, restoring the deleted page in the target space trash will offer two options
