## Overview
This page describes how the Comala Document Management app integrates with Confluence’s native **PDF** and **Word** export features when using [same-space publishing](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649794062).
## Page-level export
When exporting pages and blog posts as PDF or Word the current state of content will be published, respecting workflow Published vs. Draft if using [same-space publishing](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649794062).
| **Workflow state type** | **Notes** |
| --- | --- |
| **No applied workflow** | The latest version of the content is exported |
| **Unrestricted state**
 | The latest version of the content is exported |
| **Draft state**
 | The draft version being viewed is exported
- User needs edit permission |
| **Published (final) state**
 | The published (last approved) version is exported |
> 📝 The published version is the content version created the last time a transition to the **final** state occurred.
In same-space publishing, if the **final** state content is edited and there is no transition to another state
- The version in the **final** state changes, but
- The published version does not change until another transition into the **final** state takes place
To ensure that content in the **final** state is always the published version, add the **[updated](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/650120593)**[ transition](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/650120593) to the final state.
See: [State status indicator circles](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/650152863) and [Publishing](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649923873).
## Draft content export
When exporting draft content, the associated workflow state is shown in the output, under the page title, as shown below
By default, only users with [edit or admin permissions](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/650217543) can view draft content.
When this page was exported as a PDF
- The content was considered draft content
- It was still in the workflow state named **Draft**
- There was no workflow history of a previous transition to the final state (no published version had been created)
Once a published version has been created on a transition to the **final** state
- The native export options default to exporting the published version
- The state name does not appear in the export
## Space-level export
At the space level, we only integrate with the **PDF** export:
- **Pages without workflows applied**, the latest version is exported as usual
- **Pages with workflows**
- Where workflow does not have a `final=true` state in the workflow, the latest version is exported as usual
- Where workflow includes a `final=true` state, only the published content version is exported; draft content is not exported.
There is no way to export a draft version of content with the space-level PDF export.
If the space is exported as **HTML** or **XML**, the latest versions of all pages will be included.
