Upon trying to publish changes to a confluence page, I received a pop-up that if I publish I will also publish changes by another user. Is there a way to only publish your own changes?

@NIJB Welcome to Confluence Cloud!

I recommend you read this support document related to editing and publishing pages to better understand how the editor works and how drafts are managed.

What is pertinent to your question is excepted below.

Editing and unpublished changes

If you want to edit a published page, you can select edit, or just type E to open the editor. As with a draft, autosave retains these changes, and you can get back to them by editing the page again.

Anyone else who edits that page also sees your unpublished changes. If you're concerned about this, add editing restrictions to the page until you're ready to publish those changes.

While a page has unpublished edits, Confluence displays an unpublished changes badge next to the page title, to remind you to publish. This only displays for people who've made unpublished changes, so you needn't worry about the badge distracting your viewers.

We recommend publishing frequently; each time you publish, Confluence creates a new version of your page or blog, which not only means that it's easier to track changes over time, but it's also easy to revert back to a previous version if you ever need.

View unpublished changes

Want to know what's changed since a page was last published? Select ••• > View changes.

Delete unpublished changes

If you're working on a page with unpublished changes, and decide you no longer need them, you can discard them by selecting ••• > Revert to last published version.

After giving you a chance to see what was changed, reverting immediately deletes those changes and restores the last published version. Those changes, as they were never published, are gone for good and can't be recovered. 

Unfortunately once you publish, all current edits - from any user - are pushed through on the publish.
