This guide walks you through how to set up and manage a publishing workflow using Capable Publishing and Scroll Viewport.

### [#](#1-prepare-your-spaces)1\. Prepare Your Spaces

* **Source (Draft) Space**  
Use this as the working space for internal documentation authors. This is where Capable Publishing's approval process will be configured.
* **Target (Published) Space**  
This space will receive approved content from Capable Publishing. Configure Scroll Viewport to use this space as the content source for your public site.

### [#](#2-configure-capable-approval-and-publishing)2\. Configure Capable Approval and Publishing

Capable allows you to create approval workflows for individual pages or entire spaces. Here’s how to configure it:

* **Enable Capable in your Draft Space**: Ensure Capable Publishing is active in the space.
* **Define an Approval Workflow**:

  * Set up reviewers and approval rules.
* **Set the Target Space**:

  * In Capable Publishing, specify the **target space** as the Scroll Viewport space.
  * This tells Capable where to publish once a page is approved.

### [#](#3-publishing-approved-content)3\. Publishing Approved Content

Once a page or group of pages is approved:

* Use the **Publish** button in Capable to publish the content to the target space.
* Capable will copy over the page hierarchy, attachments, and metadata as needed.

### [#](#4-configure-scroll-viewport)4\. Configure Scroll Viewport

* In Scroll Viewport, configure the target space (from Step 2) as the content source.
* Customize the theme, domain, and other settings as required.
* When ready, deploy the site. Scroll Viewport will publish the content that Capable has delivered.
