Remote-space publishing

Overview

Remote-space publishing allows you to edit content on a local Confluence Server or Data Center, and then publish it to a remote Confluence Cloud, Server or Data Center.

Activating remote-space publishing

There are two steps to setting up different-space publishing:

1. Set-up the remote Confluence instance
2. Set-up the local Confluence instance
3. Update your workflow to trigger the publishing process

Remote setup

These steps should be performed on the remote Confluence instance which you plan to publish content to.

First, create the space where content will be published to.

Next, set up a user account and give that user permissions to view, add and delete content in that space. When content is published in to the space, it will appear to be authored and edited by this user.

Finally, enable the Confluence Remote APIs (XML-RPC and SOAP)

Local setup

These steps should be performed on the local instance where the content is initially created.

In the space that holds the source content, navigate to: Space Tools → Workflows → Remote Publishing tab

You will see a form to add a configuration:

Workflow markup

The publishing is triggered by an action macro, {remotepublish-page}, which must be used in a {trigger}.

For this example, we'll assume you created a profile with name of "remote":

{workflow:name=Different-space Publishing}
   {state:Editing|submit=Review}
   {state}
   {state:Review|approved=Published|rejected=Editing}
      {approval:Review|assignable=true}
   {state}
   {state:Published|final=true|updated=Editing}
   {state}
   {trigger:statechanged|state=Published}
      {remotepublish-page:remote}
   {trigger}
{workflow}

The example markup above based on the example from Same-space publishing, but we've added the {trigger} at the bottom. When the state changes to Published, the trigger is activated and the {remotepublish-page} macro instructs the Comala Workflows - Remote Publishing app to send the published content to the remote space.

Note: The final=true parameter is not necessary for different-space publishing, all the work is done by the {remotepublish-page} macro.
