## Copy space global administration
Global administrators can configure settings for **Copy space** in the Space Publishing global configuration dashboard for the app.
> ℹ️ The global configuration screen for publishing also manages the general configuration of the copy space configuration.
> 📝 Some configuration options also affect space publishing
## Copy space
A global administrator can edit
- **Permissions settings** to
- set the users who can publish and sync content (**Publishers Group**)
- list the **Publishable Spaces** that can be published or copied (default is **ANY** space in the instance)
- the **Properties prefixes** for content properties that can be copied or published
- the content **Label** used as the **sync-label** (if required) to define pages and/or blog posts that should be synchronized when a draft space is published
> 📝 **Properties prefixes** and the **sync-label** can also be used when using **Copy space** to make a one-off copy to a target space.
## Permissions settings
Global admins can define
- the space administrators that can make a one-off copy of a space to a target space using **Copy Space** (**Copiers Group**)
- the list of spaces that can be copied or published (**Publishable Spaces**)
> 📝 Global admins can also [define the Confluence user group(s) that are allowed to publish and sync content (](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649562904)**[Publishers Group](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649562904)**[)](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649562904) of the content.

| **Publishable Spaces** | Only the spaces indicated in the publishable spaces list can be published*.*
> 📝 This setting also defines the spaces that can be published and synced using **Space publishing**. | Default: ANY |
> ℹ️ The target space for a copy action is configured in the **[space Copy Space screen](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/650250776)**[ ](#)in the source space - the space to be copied.
## Content properties to be copied
Global admins can define the information stored as content properties to be copied. These settings are applied for one-off **copy space** and space publishing.
Apps such as Comala Metadata and K15t Scaffolding store information as Content Properties. Each property has its own name.
| Setting | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Properties prefixes** | **metadata**, **com.communardo** | Defines the prefixes of those properties you want to be copied for each document
Default values
- **metadata** - metadata defined by the Comala Metadata and Comala Document Management apps
- **com.communardo ** - metadata defined by the Communardo Metadata app |
## Setting the content sync-label
Global admins can set the content label that a space admin can (optionally) use to configure content to be copied.
- include content properties when copying
- use or ignore the **sync label** as a filter for copying
| Setting | Description | Default |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Label** | Define blog posts and pages to be copied. Add one or more labels in a comma-separated list.
> 📝 This label is also used as the **sync-label** for space publishing (see [Configure Space Publishing Settings - space tools](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/649563006)) | Default global value for the label on app install is **syncme **
> 📝 A space admin must choose whether to use the **sync-label** for copying. The default [space setting](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/AHP/pages/650250776) is to ignore the **sync-label**. |
> ℹ️ A space administrator can choose to ignore or use the global **sync-label** as a filter when using **Space publishing** to publish and sync a source space and a target space.
