Ensure compatibility with Comala Workflows by configuring Content Flow appropriately.

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.

Install Content Flow

Disable the View Page Action Override Module

In the Apps screen, expand Content Flow. In the right-side, click the button that says 49 of 49 modules enabled. This will expand all the Content Flow modules.

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

[[ for screenshot, show:

Action to render published and draft versions of pages. Disable this module if Comala Document Management (Comala Workflows) is installed.

]]

Edit Content Flow Settings

Now, 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".

Edit Comala Workflow Configuration

Now, in the left-side menu, find the section called "Comala Workflows". Under this, click "Configuration".

Scroll to the section called "Security". Click the "Edit" button for this section.

Under "Space Workflows" enter the spacekeys 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 spacekeys "2KGS", "NEWS", and "BLUEPRINTS" to specify that you do not want Comala activated in these spaces. Click Save.

Enable Content Flow Workflows in Each Desired Space

Now visit the backend of the spaces where you want to use Content Flow. For example,

Go to a page in the News space. 

Open the Confluence Menu by clicking "shift" and "z"

Open the Space Tools (gear in lower menu) and click "Overview"

Now click "Apps" in the selection of tabs in this backend page.

Click "Available Workflows"

Check the "Enable workflows for this space" checkbox

(repeat steps for all the spaces specified in step 8, i.e. all the spaces you want to use Content Flow Workflows)

Start Using Content Flow

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