- Comala Publishing for Confluence Cloud
Use Comala Publishing for Confluence Cloud to optimize how you publish your content.
Comala Publishing for Cloud provides between-space publishing to allow you to keep your draft space page content separate from finished work in a public space.
Use Comala Publishing for Cloud
Publish content from a source space to a target space using Comala Publishing:
as a standalone publishing app to publish individual pages or to publish all the pages in a space
together with one of Comala Document Management Family of apps to publish a page on the applied workflow event
Once a page is published, use the app to synchronize the source and target space pages.
Page editors can quickly check a page’s current publishing state in the added publishing byline displayed on both the source and published content.
Quickly configure a space for publishing
A space administration can use the publishing dashboard (accessed using the space settings App links>Publishing option) to
Link two spaces for publishing by adding a destination space
Enable publishing from a source space
Set the user permissions for publishing to allow you to lock down permissions in the public space
Enable the copying of content properties when publishing a page
Enable single-page publishing of an individual page by a page editor
Publish all the pages that are out of sync and are in the final state of an applied workflow
Publish all the pages in a space at one time
Single-page publishing
Simply and easily publish an individual page using the publishing byline and popup when single-page publishing is enabled.
Once published, the page publishing state byline is updated
Changes to the target or source space page update the byline to Out of sync.
Choose the publishing byline in either space to open the publishing popup and view the source or published content.
Space publishing
As a space administrator, simply and easily publish all the pages in a space using the Space publishing option in the space settings Publishing dashboard.
Publish pages using the publishing user or the app add-on user permissions
Support compliance by securing your public target space - configure publishing to use the app add-on user for publishing actions.
When the app add-on user is chosen in the Select user performing publishing action, a Confluence user (such as a page editor or space administrator) does not need edit permission in the target space to publish pages; instead, the publishing action uses the app add-on user permissions in the target space.
Publishing report
View the publishing state for all your pages in the source or target space in the Publishing report and publish directly from the report.
Publish using a Comala workflow
The Comala Publishing integration with a Comala workflow supports the publishing of a page using the applied workflow from one of the following:
When a Comala workflow is active, making the Only publish pages if they are in the final state of the workflow option active excludes pages that are not in the final state from being published when publishing all the pages in the space (space publishing).
Publish a page on a defined workflow event using a workflow trigger
When using Comala Document Management, you can configure the publishing of a page under a different workflow event or state change. Publishing occurs during this workflow event and during the transition to the final state (if the workflow includes a final state). In Comala Document Management for Cloud, you can customize your workflow by including a trigger, as in the example below.
