## [Set up remote space publishing](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649728423)

Once the [Remote Publishing app](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.comalatech.remotepublishing/server/overview) is installed there are three steps to set up [remote space publishing](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649728423):

- set-up the remote Confluence instance space where the content will be published to and add a user account with user permissions to view, add, and delete content in the space for the published content
- set-up the local Confluence instance in the space tools Remote Publishing tab
- update your workflow to trigger the publishing process

When content is published into this remote space it will appear to be authored and edited by the user you have set up.

> 📝 Ensure the user added during setup has **space administrator** permission. This permission is required for the Remote Publishing app to purge pages from the space.

For remote publishing to work, the server hosting the local Confluence instance must be able to access the remote instance.

The remote instance can be a server or a Cloud instance.

> ℹ️ ### Using a Cloud instance as the remote instance
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ If a Cloud instance is used as the remote instance then you will [need to configure an API token in the user account Atlassian administration](https://id.atlassian.com/manage/api-tokens).
> ℹ️ 
> ℹ️ The API token needed for the user password field needs to be requested by the user who will appear to publish the articles.
