## Use Comala Publishing for Cloud

Publish content from a source space to a target space using Comala Publishing

- [Publish individual pages](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1088816440)
- [Publish all the pages in a space](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646578843)
- [Publish a page on an applied Comala workflow event](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1091043351)

> ℹ️ You can use a workflow from one of the following apps: [Comala Document Management](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/142/comala-document-management?hosting=cloud&tab=overview), [Comala Document Control](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/apps/1215729/comala-document-control?hosting=cloud&tab=overview), or [Comala Document Approval](https://marketplace.atlassian.com/search?query=comala%20document%20approval).

Once a page is published, use the app to synchronize the source and target space pages.

Page editors can quickly check a page’s current publishing state in the added [publishing byline](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646252111) displayed on both the source and published content.

## Quickly configure a space for publishing

A space administrator can use the [publishing space setting](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646644089) (accessed using the space settings **App links>Publishing** option) to configure publishing.

![cpc_publishingdashboard_userpermissionstopublish.png](media://57e93986-c6a9-4eb1-bff2-85538b0ecbcc)

The space settings let you:

- [Link two spaces for publishing by adding a destination space](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646219345)
- [Enable publishing from a source space](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646251946)

You can configure publishing to:

- [Enable single-page publishing of an individual page by a page editor](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646252212)
- [Set the user permissions for publishing to allow you to lock down permissions in the public space](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1433075760)
- [Enable the copying of content properties when publishing a page](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646775243)

The space administrator can also publish the pages from this source space to a target space:

- [Publish all the pages in a space at one time](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646578843), or
- [Publish all the pages that are out of sync and are in the final state of an applied workflow](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1367900293)

## Single-page publishing

Simply and easily [publish an individual page](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646938974) using the [publishing byline and popup](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646252111) when single-page publishing is enabled.

![image](media://ac9580f5-4f9d-4abf-8f1a-d2a744bbc7d7)

Once published, the page publishing state byline is updated

![image](media://0610ff22-b812-4a2a-aec1-6a6c75bdddaa)

Changes to the target or source space page update the byline to **Out of sync**.

![image](media://66e23c6f-3fa3-4fbc-ac50-40afafc3b306)

Choose the publishing byline in either space to open the publishing popup and view the source or published content.

## Space publishing

As a space administrator, simply and easily [publish all the pages in a space](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646578843) using the **Space publishing** option in the [space settings Publishing dashboard](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646644089).

## Publish pages using the publishing user or the app add-on user permissions

Support compliance by securing your public target space - configure publishing to use the app add-on user for publishing actions.

![cpc_selectuserforpublishing_appuser_selected_dropdownoptions.png](media://1af1f716-5cad-4202-903a-33fc8cad035f)

When the app add-on user is chosen in the **Select user performing publishing action**, a Confluence user (such as a page editor or space administrator) does not need edit permission in the target space to publish pages; instead, the publishing action uses the app add-on user permissions in the target space.

## Publishing report

View the publishing state for all your pages in the source or target space in the [Publishing report](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1085473466). A space administrator can publish pages directly from the report in a single publishing action.

![cpc_publishingreport_nofilter_added.png](media://52b96a00-d4e7-42e7-b47d-ac8ce94dd715)

Filter the report display using the **Publishing state** filter or a word that matches the page **Title** filter. A space administrator can publish the displayed filtered pages in a single publishing action.

![cpc_publishingreport_publishingstatefilter_added.png](media://2ed0a6c0-8028-47f6-b409-b0b6b148a576)

If a Comala workflow is applied to any pages in the space,  the **Final workflow state** filter is available in the report to display only pages that have been approved.

![cpc_publishingreport_finalworkflowstatefilter_green_active.png](media://b60392a8-9435-47ad-9cd2-0ccc7a0d4f88)

The **Final workflow state filter,** in combination with any set publishing state filter, offers you more precise control over the report results.

## Publish using a Comala workflow

The Comala Publishing integration with a Comala workflow supports the publishing of a page using the applied workflow from one of the following:

- [Comala Document Management](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDCCL)
- [Comala Document Control](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDCCL)
- [Comala Document Approval](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDACL)

Comala Publishing [automatically publishes pages to the target space](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646807871) when they reach the **applied workflow final state**.

![image](media://3dbab8af-04a9-4379-96ac-4004584a19f7)

[A space administrator can configure whole space publishing to only publish pages in the final state in the workflow](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1367900293)

![cpc_publishingsettings_exteract_publish_wf_final_state.png](media://06c046a8-b811-422e-bafa-adfa7bd5fddf)

When a Comala workflow is active, making the **Only publish pages if they are in the final state of the workflow** option active excludes pages that are not in the final state from being published when publishing all the pages in the space ([space publishing](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646578843)).

[Publish a page on a defined workflow event using a workflow trigger](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/646644272)

When using Comala Document Management, you can configure the publishing of a page **under a different workflow event or state change.** Publishing occurs during this workflow event and during the transition to the final state (if the workflow includes a final state). In [Comala Document Management for Cloud](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CDMC), you can customize your workflow by including a trigger, as in the example below.

![cpc_comalavisualeditor_editworkflowtrigger_publishpage_action.png](media://3c943e25-6c11-437d-9494-1b97cd05a063)

## User permissions

Comala Publishing requires [users to have specific Confluence permissions](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1328480358). For example:

- To publish pages using Comala Publishing for Confluence Cloud, a user must have at least permission to **view** and **edit** both the source and the target spaces.
- To manage and publish all the pages in a space, you must have space administrator permission in these spaces.

The space administrator can configure [publishing to use the app add-on user permissions in the target space](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CPCL/pages/1433075760). This can help with compliance by restricting the need for user access to your published pages.
