Comala Document Management (Comala Workflows) and Brikit Content Flow both rely on the same underlying Confluence structures and can cause compatibility issues if used together in the same environment. Take these steps to ensure that both apps work as expected.

Determine if you have system administrator privileges

In order to configure Content Flow workflows and Comala Workflows globally, you must be a System Administrator.

Install Content Flow

If you have already installed Content Flow, move to the next step.

Navigate to the apps page

class	product-navigation

Confluence Administration Menu → Manage apps

Disable the 'View Page Action Override' module

On the Apps page, locate and expand Content Flow. On the right-side of the app description, find and click the text that says "## of ## modules enabled". This will expand all the Content Flow modules.

Find the module called "View Page Action Override". Next to it, click Disable.

Edit Content Flow settings

While still in the Confluence Administration backend, in the left side-menu, find the section called "Brikit Content Flow". Under this, click "Content Flow Settings".

Click the Edit button. Deselect the check-box called "Enable Workflows By Default". Click "Save".

In other words, the "Enable Workflows By Default" should be set to off.

Edit Comala workflow configuration

While still in the Confluence Administration backend, in the left side-menu, find the section called "Comala Workflows". Under this, click "Configuration".

Scroll to the section called "Security". Click the adjacent Edit button.

Under "Space Workflows" enter the space keys of the spaces where you want ("Allowed" radio button) or do not want ("Restricted" radio button) Comala to be used. For example, click the "Restricted" radio button, and enter the space keys of the spaces in which you do not want Comala activated. Click Save.

Enable Content Flow workflows in each desired space

Follow the "Enable (or Disable) Workflows in a Space" steps described in Enabling and Disabling Workflows.

Start using Content Flow

You are now ready to start using Content Flow. Next up is Creating a Workflow.

Note

If using:

Replace me with something to note about this how-to entry that falls outside the scope of all other sections; and
Add the tight-bottom class to the Steps block above to narrow the gap between the two blocks.

Tip

Some users have reported that after installing Comala apps on a site already using Theme Press, any Theme-Press enabled spaces fail to load (a "Page Not Found" message is shown). This is a known error with the way in which Confluence loads the order of these two apps.

If using:

Replace me with something to note about this how-to entry that falls outside the scope of all other sections; and

Add the tight-bottom class to the next visible/non-collapsed block above this one to narrow the gap between the two blocks

The workaround is simply to uninstall and then reinstall Theme Press

.
