## Overview

Comala Document Control v2 and later for Confluence Data Center now use document activities to record workflow events and activities. To take advantage of document activity's new capabilities, you need to **upgrade your existing workflow activity data** to the new document activity data format.

## Workflow document activity

We know that Comala Document Control **Page Activity** is a key capability for many of our customers, especially those that rely on it for regulatory or compliance needs.

Comala Document Control 2 replaces **Page Activity** with **Document Activity**. **Document Activity **is a step change in the way the app stores workflow events, such as state changes and approvals.

This delivers:

- Enhanced performance and stability when loading document activity with large numbers of states and approvals, mitigating the risk of data loss due to size limits.
- A new [Document Activity Report](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMALACDCLS/pages/650122699) with a more intuitive layout and improved filtering, including the flexibility to add advanced filters

> 📝 This is a significant change from the key capability of **Page Activity** and requires an upgrade of existing data.

## Getting ready

To take advantage of the new capabilities of Comala Document Control v2+, you need to upgrade your existing activity data to a new data format.

- **New spaces** automatically utilize document activity to record and report workflow events and actions
- **Existing spaces without an applied workflow** (no previous workflow events or actions) automatically utilize document activity on applying a workflow

The upgrade will require your Confluence Administrator to enable Confluence **Read Only Mode** while the upgrade runs.

So that you can plan this upgrade the [Document Activity Upgrade](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMALACDCLS/pages/649696436) console lets you:

- **Check** your page activity will upgrade successfully, and get an estimate of the time required
- **Upgrade** your page activity and enable the new document activity capabilities

> ℹ️ Checks can be done at any time; however, you must enable **Read Only Mode** before choosing to upgrade your workflow data.

> 📝 The [Document Activity Upgrade](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMALACDCLS/pages/649696436) console is available in releases prior to Comala Document Control 2 from [v1.13](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/COMALACDCLS/pages/649629869)+
