## <span style="color: #333333">Global configuration</span>

<span style="color: #333333">Choose the</span><span style="color: #333333">** Edit **</span><span style="color: #333333">button for each setting to change the global configuration.</span>

> ℹ️ From v2.4.0, a global administrator can choose to hide the app action options in the page tool menu. For example, the **Add Page Workflow** option.

#### <span style="color: #333333">Workflow Activity and Visibility</span>

<span style="color: #333333">Only space administrators and page editors can see draft content and the workflow activity in reports by default.</span>

<span style="color: #333333">This visibility can be set so that any user can view the drafts and the workflow activity.</span>

#### Page Update Reset

The default, **Reset,** requires content reviews to be undertaken every time you transition to a state containing the content review.

If this is set to **Ignore, **then there is no requirement for a content review to be undertaken when the workflow returns to a previously visited state with a content review.

#### Published View Macro Transform

If enabled, any content displayed using the include and excerpt-include macros only shows the approved final state version of the referenced page with an applied workflow. If the page is only in draft, no content is rendered.

#### Document Actions  Dashboard Component

If enabled, the Confluence dashboard displays a user's pending document actions, such as pending assigned approvals.

## Enable CDC Actions in Page Tools

You can clear this option to hide the app action options, such as **Add Workflow**, **Edit Parameters**, **Remove Workflow**, from the page tools menu.

The addition and application of **Comala Document Control Workflows** can be **Allowed** or **Restricted**.

This can be done separately for:

- **Space workflows** - workflows managed and applied solely by space admins
- **Page workflows **- workflow added by users on a page-by-page basis or blog-by-blog basis

> ✅ Restrict (or allow) the use of Comala Document Control for specific spaces, which can be done by listing allowable spaces using their space keys in a comma-separated list.

Both space workflows and page workflows can be enabled in the same space.

> 📝 If the space administrator enables the space mode workflow in a space, any added page workflow is overridden by the space workflow.

## Impersonation group for Refresh Data

This user group is used to impersonate a Confluence administrator when running the refresh data process in a space. It lets a space administrator successfully [refresh the workflow data for a space](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDML/pages/649859819), including pages with page-level edit restrictions.

Edit the settings to add a Confluence user group with global administrator permissions:

- Default value: **Not set**
- Accepted value: Confluence user group
  - requires a group with Confluence global administrator permission

> ℹ️ Adding a Confluence administrator group ensures the data refresh process in a space has access to restricted pages in the space.
