Is there a pattern for Staging/UAT of Pages

Question

We develop several products and use Confluence to provide documentation to the public with each product occupying a Space.

However, we don't want the docs (and updates for new versions) to be publicly visible while we work on them.

Does anyone use Confluence with the notion of a Staging area?  Are there any patterns in common use?

Hallo The Diamond Z This page in the Confluence docs describes how to manage the life cycle of technical documentation, using core Confluence functionality: http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DOC/Managing+the+Life+Cycle+of+your+Technical+Documentation There are some plugins that provide extended workflow in Confluence: * Ad hoc Workflows plugin by Comalatech, for adding workflow capabilities to Confluence: https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/142 * Confluence Remote Publishing Plugin by Comalatech, extending the Ad hoc Workflows plugin to publish content from a master Confluence space to a destination space: https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/42115 * Confluence Workflows Utilities Plugin by Comalatech, extending the Ad hoc Workflows plugin with utilities such as a workflow event logger and new comment trigger events: https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/38741 * Live Forms and Workflows for Confluence by Frevvo, for creating input forms and associated workflows: https://plugins.atlassian.com/plugin/details/8965 I hope these are useful!
