Clear publishing configuration

The publishing configuration can be cleared from both the source space and the target space using the space settings Clear Publishing configuration menu option in either the target space or the source space.

Clearing the publication configuration

  • removes the publishing synchronization between the source space and target space

  • unlinks the spaces

After the configuration is cleared, each space can be configured as a new source space or a new target space.

User will require space administrator permission for both the source space and the target space. The Clear Publishing configuration option will be disabled (greyed out) if the user does not have permission for both spaces.

Clear the publishing configuration

In the publishing dashboard

  • choose the ellipsis menu

  • choose the Clear Publishing configuration option

The Clear Publishing configuration option is available in both the source space and the target space publishing dashboard.

 

Selecting Clear Publishing configuration displays a confirmation dialog box.

The source and target space names are displayed in the dialog box.

  • choose Clear in the dialog box to confirm removal of the publishing configuration from both the source space and the target space

The space is reindexed and the progress of the space reindex of the source space is displayed in a progress bar.

Successful reindex of the space is confirmed in the displayed space reindex report together with a message confirming the successful clearing of the publishing configuration.

The Clear Publishing configuration option

  • unlinks the target space and source space

  • removes synchronization (and removes all publishing status) for pages in the previously linked spaces

  • resets the publishing dashboard in both the previously linked source space and target space

Changing the target space

You can also change an existing target space by choosing the publishing dashboard Target space option.

This option will remove the synchronization between the previously linked spaces - the source space and the target space.

Once the new target space has been added in the source space publishing dashboard

  • choose Publish space to publish to the new target space

The selected new target space cannot be an existing source or target space. If the selected space is already configured for publishing, the Change button is disabled and a message is displayed warning the space has an existing publishing configuration (either as a source space or a target space).
