If your team is using Confluence Cloud and has enabled the new Live Pages (Live Docs) feature, you may notice that Comala Document Management workflows are disabled while editing a Live Page. This article explains what this means, what is supported, and how to continue using Comala workflows alongside Live Pages.

## Information:

1. **What Happens When You Edit a Live Page?**

When a Confluence Live Page is in edit mode, you will see the following message:

> "Live Editing  
> Interaction with Comala Document Management is disabled in edit mode."

![Comala Document Management with Confluence Live Pages enabled](media://a99a7496-df25-4044-a4dd-13b99c789db9)

This means:

- Comala workflows (state transitions, approvals, etc.) are temporarily disabled.
- You cannot interact with the workflow status or triggers while editing.
- This limitation applies only during the Live Page edit session.

2. **Does This Affect Workflow Data or History?**

No. Comala Document Management continues to track the workflow history and state of the page. Once editing ends, workflow functionality resumes outside of edit mode.

3. **What Is the Recommended Workflow?**

If you want to use Comala workflows fully on a Live Page, follow these steps:

- Step 1: Use the Live Page feature to take real-time notes or collaborate quickly.
- Step 2: When you're ready to apply formal workflows (e.g., for review or approval), convert the Live Page to a regular Confluence page.
- Step 3: Comala Document Management will now be fully functional on the converted page.

4. **Can I Keep Using My Existing Pages?**

Yes. Your existing Confluence pages (created before enabling Live Docs) are not affected. Comala Document Management works normally on those pages.

5. **Is It Safe to Enable Live Pages?**

Enabling Live Pages will not affect your existing workflow-enabled content. You can enable Live Docs across your site and continue using them alongside traditional pages.
