A space administrator can choose to disable single-page publishing whilst space publishing is enabled. ### Publishing using a Comala workflow Publishing of a page can be automated using Comala Publishing with an applied Comala workflow: #### Publish on transition to the workflow final state A page is automatically published and synced on a transition to the final state in the applied workflow. ![cpc_onpage_publishing_synced_wf_state_final_approved_popup.png](media://dc29bc9f-49d2-4f6b-ada9-09b0a91dd010) See: [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646807871](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646807871) #### Publish a page on a workflow event using a workflow trigger You can use a Comala Document Management app workflow to automatically publish a page on a workflow event using a workflow trigger. For example, you can set a workflow trigger publish action to occur on a workflow event, such as on a change of state, an approval, a rejection, or label change. ![cpc_onpage_pagepublished_firts-publish_state_notfinalstate.png](media://113c4d40-4f0f-48e3-b9e0-17c66e232c94) See: [https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646644272](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646644272) You can also use the workflow final state to filter publishing of pages to - [Space publish all the pages in the workflow final state](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1367900293) in the app space settings, or - [filter publishing from the publishing report](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1072562207) to pages in the workflow final state > ℹī¸ A workflow from one of Comala Document Management family of apps can be applied to pages and blog posts, *[Comala Publishing can only publish page content](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/697469115)* and blog posts are not published. ## Publishing a page The first publishing action for a page - Generates a [copy of the source page content and properties](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/697469115) in the target space - Sets the page version in the target space as version 1 Each subsequent publishing action for the page increments the target space page version. Confluence version metadata is not copied from the draft page. The published content in the target space - [Maintains, where possible, the page hierarchy](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646775362) from the source space However, in the target space, the [order of the published pages](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646906021) under a parent page may sometimes be different from that in the source space. > 📝 Comala Publishing is designed to publish to a target space that is “**empty**”. > 📝 > 📝 Any space can be configured as a target space, but problems may be encountered on the first publishing of a source space to a target space that is not empty (except for the space homepage). ## Publishing reports Two publishing reports are available in Comala Publishing: #### Publishing report The [Publishing report](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1072562207) displays the current publishing status for pages in the source space and the target space. ![cpc_publishingreport_sourcespace_stateNOTSYNCED_3entries.png](media://e288a5eb-a79f-49df-b3da-e1281e85cb36) > ℹī¸ The [Publishing Report](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1072562207) is accessed in the source space using the Confluence sidebar **Apps>Comala Publishing** option.
