> Publish a single page from the source space page when space publishing is configured with a target space

## Single page publishing

An existing page in the draft space that has been published displays a **PUBLISHED** lozenge and a link to the published space content.

You can edit and save changes on this published target space page.

When you next publish the draft version of that page from the source space the content in the target space is overwritten.

> ℹ️ If you are using a Confluence theming app, you need to ensure the byline that lists the page author, date, etc is visible as this is where the **Publish** page button is displayed.

## Enabling single page publishing

To use single page publishing in a space

- the space must first be linked by a space administrator to a target space in the [space tools space publishing dashboard](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649660098)
- **Single Page Publish** must be enabled for the space by using the tick slider **Show "Publish" button on each page** in this [space publishing dashboard](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649660098)

> 📝 Other space publishing [configuration](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/650153552) settings and/or user permissions may mean the on-page **Publish** byline option is not displayed even if **Single Page Publish** is enabled. For example, a space publishing **sync label** is configured but not added to the page.

## User permissions

To publish a single page using the **Publish** button on the content you need to have the following Confluence [permissions](https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Space+Permissions+Overview) in both the **source** and **target spaces** to publish a page or blog post.

- **View All**
- **Add** and **Delete** pages
- **Add** and **Delete** news
- **Add** and **Delete** attachments

You also need to check that

- a source space and published have been set up
- [configuration](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649726972) settings
- in the **published space**, the page you are publishing does not have any page restrictions limiting your access
