Changing the target space
You can change the target space in the source space settings Publishing configuration dashboard after content has already been published from the source space. Subsequent publishing actions publish any content previously published in the previous target space in the new target space.
Selecting a new target space in the Target space dropdown menu displays a warning banner.
The warning is displayed before selecting the Change button to confirm the change of target space.
Choose Change to add the new target space.
The Change of the target space
unlinks the current target space, and published pages in this old target space will no longer be linked for publishing
sets all pages in the source space as unpublished and the publishing state to NEW
You must confirm the Change in the dialog box
The progress of the space reindex of the source space publishing is displayed in a progress bar.
The progress bar confirms that the publishing configuration change for the pages in the source space has been made. The publishing state for these pages has been updated to New.
If the space has not been previously published, the space reindex progress bar and completion report are not displayed.
Successful change of the target space configuration is confirmed in an on-screen notification.
Source source pages must now be published and synced to the new target space.
In the previous target space, published documents were not deleted but are no longer updated.
Publishing should not be attempted in spaces with a large number of pages while the change of target space is in progress.
