## Accessing the publishing report

The publishing report is accessed from the source space Confluence sidebar

- choose **Apps>Comala Publishing**

![cpc_confluence_sidebar_apps_menu_comalapublishing.png](media://d7d479d2-50a9-4702-956d-4b13b621d79e)

The default report displays all the pages in the source space.

For example, no pages have been published in the following space. All the pages have a **New** publishing state.

![cpc_publishingreport_nofilters_no_workflowactive_publish_7_pages_nolastspacepublication.png](media://7a1ac8ee-7db6-4386-a797-c4bf85015937)

- there are no **Title** and **Publishing state** filters applied
- the **Workflow final state** filter option is not displayed (as no Comala workflow is active in the space)

> ℹ️ If the space has more than 25 pages, use the **Load more** option to display more pages.

- in a space with some published pages, by default, all pages are displayed irrespective of the publishing state

![cpc_publishingreport_nofilters_no_workflowactive_publish_7_pages_nolastspacepublication_somepublished_new_synced_states.png](media://73940dab-8c70-4f98-99ef-12addd6858a8)

You can filter the pages displayed in the report by one or more publishing states using the **Publishing state filter**.

![cpc_publishingreport_extract_publishingstate_filter_synced_checked.png](media://d70f6efd-dd6d-49a3-864c-1c709a9d4d2a)

When you choose the **Unsynced** button, the report is filtered to show pages in the **New** and **out-of-sync** publishing states.

The publishing report displays the pages in the checked publishing state(s).

A space administrator can also publish the pages displayed in the report in a single action using the **Publish** option.

> 📝 The **Publish** option in the publishing report is only available to space administrators.

- the **Last Publication** tab is displayed when any pages have been published using the report** Publish** option (or in a space publishing action from the app space settings)

## Report columns

![cpc_publishingreport_sourcespace_5pages_nofilters.png](media://a8211ba4-9923-47f8-bc44-911cf7264f24)

The report displays the following information for each page in a space.

- **Page** (page title)
- **State** (publishing state)
- **Last synced by**
  - **When** (date of last publishing synchronization)
  - **Version** (source page version on last publishing synchronization)
- **Last updated by**
  - **When **(date of last update in the currently selected space)
  - **Version **(current page version in the currently selected space)

The report table can be sorted for each column in ascending or descending order, making it easier to organize and review data

You can display the report for the target space by choosing the target space name byline.

![cpc_publishingreport_targetspace_6pages_includingremoved_nofilters.png](media://5badf5df-7b65-4004-b3db-e10375cbac9f)

In the target space report

- **Last synced by** column and related **When** and **Version** are data for the source space page that was synced
- **Last updated by** column and related **When** and **Version** data are for the target space page

## Filtering the report

By default, the report displays all pages in each space that are not synced. You can filter the report when viewing the source space and the target space.

![cpc_publishingreport_titlefilter_publishingstatefilter_noworkflowfinalstatefilter_onepagedisplayed.png](media://eb468788-cba4-4884-9262-520ca0a9a07d)

You can use one or more of the following filters in the publishing report:

The **final workflow state** filter is only available in the source space. It can only be applied if a Comala workflow is active on any page in the source space. You can combine these filters to customize the pages displayed in the report.

#### Publishing state filter

The publishing state filter is available when viewing the source space report or the target space report.

In the source space report, you can choose one or more of the following publishing states:

- **New**
- **Synced**
- **Out of sync**

You can filter the report by checking one or more publishing states in the **Publishing state filter**.

![cpc_publishingreport_extract_publishingstatefilter_dropdown_no_selection.png](media://53ab996b-b35e-4ff4-bcec-bf3f1a858c54)

You can also choose the **Unsynced** lozenge to display all the pages that are not currently synced.

You can display all the pages in the space in the report by removing any added publishing state filters by deleting the lozenge or unchecking the option in the dropdown menu. 

![cpc_publishingstatefilter_added_outofsync_new_filters.png](media://6620449d-4ec1-48d9-99ec-53f11e15136c)

In the target space report, you can filter the report by one or more of the following publishing states:

![cpc_publishingreport_extract_publishingstatefilter_targetspace_withsynced_out_ofsync_removed_options.png](media://d339a924-1ec3-4856-8717-20db2b43befb)

#### Page Title filter

The **Title** filter lets you add a word to filter the pages by the name of a page containing the word added to the filter.

![cpc_publishingreport_withtitlefilter_product_text.png](media://a4f93206-24f0-4778-a046-dc3a2099a1e7)

The filter matches whole words in the page name. Partial text strings of words are not used in the filter. For example, you must add ***Product*** to filter the report to pages with **Product** in their name

You also cannot use the filter with either of the symbols ** * **or  **?** as the first character of a search.

You can combine the **Title** filter with the **Publishing state** and **Workflow final state** filters.

#### Workflow final state filter

The **Final workflow state **report filter is displayed only when a Comala workflow is applied to at least one page in the space.

![cpc_publishingreport_extract_finalworkflowstatefilter_option_inactive_grey.png](media://36fc6562-3885-43d6-bb38-313a878091f4)

Slide the filter option to a green tick to enable the **Final workflow state** filter.

![cpc_publishingreport_finalworkflowstatefilter_green_active.png](media://2d2dcc96-811c-4b71-a95c-cc6e41365bbf)

The **Final workflow state filter** works together with the publishing state filter.

> 📝 To view all pages in a publishing state, you might need to make the** Final workflow state filte**r inactive by moving the filter slider to grey.
