> 📝 If a Comala Document Management workflow is applied to a document, publishing can also be configured to occur on a transition to the workflow final state.

## Publishing status

After linking the source space and target space in the space publishing configuration, the source space documents publishing status is set as **NEW**.

Once an initial copy and publish action has occurred, each document is synced and the document status is **PUBLISHED**.

A change in either a source space document or target space document sets the document status to **OUT OF SYNC**.

The publishing status lozenges are displayed by default on both the source space content and the target space content (for users with **admin** or **edit** permission for the content in that space).

Deleting a published document from the source space will set the target space document status as **REMOVED**. Deleting a published document from the target space sets the source space document as **NEW**. 

## What is copied and published?

**Space Publishing** can be configured to include

- pages, blogposts, top-level pages

The publish and sync action can also be set to include

- labels, content properties, version comments, display/hide the publishing status lozenges

You can also choose to match labels on content in each space, delete any content found in the target space, copy page restrictions and replace source space references in the published content to the target space references.

A label can be set by a global administrator as a **sync-label**. This **sync-label** can then used to determine which content to publish in a space publishing action.

> 📝 The content to be published and synced for **Space Publishing** is configured separately to the [copy space configuration](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/650250776) options.

> Macro (children)

> 📝 Space content can also be copied to another space in a one-off copy action using **Copy Space**. The target space set for **Copy Space **is not linked to the target space set in the [copy space configuration](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/650250776) for the space.
