Create with Rovo
A Confluence Cloud creation workflow, reached from the Create menu, in which a user supplies a natural-language prompt plus optional files, links, a template, @mentions and selected data sources, and Rovo generates a draft in a full-screen preview area. Atlassian documents that the preview has not yet been added to a space and is visible only to the creating user until the user selects Add to Confluence. The user may edit the preview directly, use slash commands, use selection-level AI actions, or refine it through Rovo chat. Persistent Confluence content is created only when the user selects Add to Confluence, chooses a space and parent item, chooses an output form for written content (live doc, draft page or whiteboard) and selects Add. Supported outputs documented for this workflow are pages, live docs, whiteboards, databases and slides. Previews are retained and can be reopened from Rovo chat history; Atlassian states that for slides, closing the preview without adding to Confluence means changes are not saved.
Recorded characteristics
- Function
- Atlassian documents the following sequence. The user selects Create in the top navigation, then Create with Rovo, and adds a prompt. The user may optionally add files, links, a template or an @mention of a person, choose which data sources Rovo uses, select a content type, use suggested starting prompts, and change the answering mode, then select Submit. Rovo drafts the content in a full-screen preview area which may contain written content, whiteboard elements, or a proposed draft of a database. The user can edit the preview by changing text directly, using the / slash command to insert elements, selecting content and using AI actions (Ask Rovo on a specific section, further AI actions, Improve writing), or continuing the conversation in Rovo chat. To persist the result the user selects Add to Confluence, chooses any space and parent item, and for written content chooses to add it as a live doc, a draft page or a whiteboard, then selects Add. Atlassian states that live docs, whiteboards and databases allow real-time editing while pages must be published, and that the user can continue editing after adding, including switching between live doc and page or converting to a blog post. For slides Atlassian documents the same Create with Rovo entry point: write a prompt, add links and files, select the Slides button to output, edit and refine in preview, then Add to Confluence choosing space and parent; the presentation inherits user view and edit permissions from the parent item. Atlassian separately documents three other ways to start slides (the Create menu, Remix from a page or live doc, and Rovo Chat), which are not part of the Create with Rovo entry point.
- Data access
- Atlassian documents the following generation context for Create with Rovo: the natural-language prompt itself; files, links, a template and an @mention of a person added through the Add control; and data sources the user chooses for Rovo to use. For slides Atlassian documents generation from the user's pages, live docs, whiteboards, databases, Jira spaces, Goals and more, and states that Rovo reads text from source material and may infer the relevance of images in that source material based on image placement and surrounding text, while not ingesting or scanning image content into the AI model. Atlassian states generally that Rovo Search respects user permissions so users only see what they already have access to. No tenant-wide retrieval authority beyond documented, user-selected sources is established for this capability.
- Actions
- Generative only
- External actions
- Unknown
- Human confirmation
- Required
- Permission basis
- User permissions
- Administrative control
- Organization admins manage Rovo access from Atlassian Administration under Rovo, then Rovo access, and can block individual apps from Rovo features; blocking an app disables all current and upcoming AI features for that app, including Rovo Agents and Chat, while content previously generated by Rovo remains. Atlassian specifically names Create with Rovo among AI features common across Jira family apps that remain available as long as any Jira app on the site still has Rovo enabled. Atlassian also documents that turning on Rovo requires the organization admin to be on a verified business domain, that AI activation is required for Rovo features that use AI, and that organization and billing admins can track Rovo credit usage, set spending limits and disable extra usage. Space-level Add content permission governs where a user can place content.
- Default state
- Conditional
- Availability
- Documented for Confluence Cloud. Atlassian states Rovo is available for apps on Standard, Premium and Enterprise plans, that everyone in the organization will have access to Rovo features, that Confluence is a supported app, and that Rovo is not available in Atlassian Government organizations. Atlassian notes some features may not be available in sandbox environments. No language restrictions and no regional restrictions specific to Create with Rovo are established.
- Licensing
- Atlassian states on the Create with Rovo documentation page that Create with Rovo is a premium AI feature that consumes Rovo credits. Atlassian documents that Rovo credits are included in all paid Jira, Confluence, Service Collection and Teamwork Collection cloud subscriptions, with per-user per-month allowances pooled at the organization level (Confluence: 25 Standard, 70 Premium, 150 Enterprise), that allowances reset monthly and do not roll over, that credits are consumed by billable events where each invocation of an Atlassian agent or AI feature is a billable event, and that extra usage billing for Rovo credits takes effect on 3 December 2026 with extra usage enabled by default and admin spending limits available. The exact number of credits consumed per Create with Rovo request or per output type is not established.
- External model or provider
- Not established. Atlassian does not identify a specific model or provider for Create with Rovo. General Atlassian AI administration documentation notes that certain AI providers such as OpenAI may process data in non-EU regions, but this is not attributed to Create with Rovo specifically.
- Limitations and uncertainty
- Action capability is recorded as generative_only because Atlassian documents that the contents of the preview panel have not yet been added to a space, that only the creating user can see the preview, and that the user must select Add to Confluence, choose a space and parent item and select Add before persistent Confluence content exists. No Atlassian-documented AI-performed persistent write to a Confluence space occurs before that human action. External action capability is recorded as unknown: no external write by this capability is documented, and Atlassian provides no affirmative statement excluding external actions; retrieval from supplied links, files or connected sources is not treated as an external action. Permission basis is recorded as user_permissions on the basis that Atlassian documents Rovo respecting the user's existing permissions, that adding a page or blog post requires the space Add content permission, and that a slide deck added through this workflow inherits user view and edit permissions from its parent item; no separate execution identity for Create with Rovo is documented. Default state is recorded as conditional because Rovo requires an eligible Standard, Premium or Enterprise plan, a verified business domain, AI activation, an app not blocked by the organization admin, and available Rovo credits, and is unavailable in Atlassian Government organizations. Boundaries deliberately excluded from this record: editing existing Confluence content with Rovo in the editor, Remix, Rovo Chat as a separate surface, and configurable Rovo agents and agent collaboration through comments and the editor, all of which Atlassian documents separately and which are covered by other registry records. Not established for this capability: whether Add to Confluence can produce a database as a persistent content item (Atlassian documents a proposed draft of a database in the preview area and names databases among the outputs Create with Rovo helps you get started with, but the documented Add choices for written content are live doc, draft page or whiteboard); the precise persistence model and editability of a whiteboard produced by this workflow beyond real-time editing; whether the preview itself is retained server-side beyond appearing as a reopenable preview card in Rovo chat history; whether any formal AI audit log exists, as opposed to Rovo chat history and ordinary Confluence version history after content is added; and who is recorded as creator or author of content added through this workflow. Atlassian documents that Confluence pages support drafts and version history while live docs do not have drafts and show changes instantly, so a page added through Add to Confluence is a draft page that a human must publish separately; no page publication authority is claimed for Rovo. Atlassian's advisory to always review AI-generated content for accuracy before making it publicly accessible is recorded as documented guidance, not as a control.
Evidence
- Create new content items with Rovo
Supports: Function · Data access · Actions · External actions · Human confirmation · Licensing · Limitations · General · Primary source
Select Create in the top navigation, then Create with Rovo, then add a prompt and select Submit. Rovo drafts content in a full-screen preview area that may contain written content, whiteboard elements, or a proposed draft of a database. The preview can be edited directly, via the / slash command, via selection-level AI actions (Ask Rovo, further AI actions, Improve writing), or through continued Rovo chat. Add to Confluence: choose any space and parent item, choose live doc, draft page or whiteboard for written content, then select Add; editing continues afterwards, including switching between live doc and page or converting to a blog post. Create with Rovo helps get started with new pages, live docs, whiteboards, databases or slides.
The Add control includes files, links, a template, an @mention of a person and additional formatting; the user chooses which data sources Rovo uses; links and context can be added throughout the conversation.
The contents of the preview panel have not yet been added to a space and only the creating user can see it until Add to Confluence is selected; persistent Confluence content follows the human selecting Add to Confluence, choosing space and parent item, and selecting Add.
No external write is documented for this workflow; all documented outputs are Confluence content items. Atlassian gives no affirmative statement excluding external actions.
The user must select Add to Confluence, choose space and parent item and select Add before content exists in a space. Atlassian advises always reviewing AI-generated content for accuracy before making it publicly accessible.
Create with Rovo is a premium AI feature that consumes Rovo credits.
Anything created with Rovo is saved as a preview that can be reopened at any time from Rovo chat history via the preview card, distinct from any Confluence content item.

- Create AI-generated slides with Rovo
Supports: Function · Data access · Actions · Human confirmation · Permission basis · Limitations · Primary source
Create with Rovo is one of four documented ways to start slides: select Create, then Create with Rovo, write a prompt, add links and files, then select the Slides button to output. The preview can be edited globally through Rovo chat and per slide, and slides reordered, copied, pasted or deleted.
Slides can be generated using the user's pages, live docs, whiteboards, databases, Jira spaces, Goals and more. Rovo reads text from source material and may infer the relevance of images based on placement and surrounding text; it does not ingest or scan image content into the AI model.
Slide preview contents have not been added to a space and only the creating user can see and edit them until Add to Confluence; closing the preview without adding means changes are not saved.
For slides the user must add the deck to a space in order to save changes.
A presentation added under a parent item inherits user view and edit permissions from that parent; each slide deck is a content item with the same permissions and sharing options as any other Confluence-native content item.
Slides can be edited both in the preview window and after being added to Confluence; collaboration after adding supports up to 60 other people.
- Create, update, and manage written content
Supports: Function · Actions · Permission basis · Limitations · Primary source
The Create button menu includes Create with Rovo, which fills the screen and lets the user add a short description, links or other relevant info before starting an AI-generated draft.
Pages are published and carry version history; live docs enable real-time, publish-free collaboration with changes instantly visible. Only pages and blog posts have drafts.
To create a page or blog post the user needs Add content permission for that space.
A page added through this workflow is a draft page; drafts are visible only to their creator until published, so adding to Confluence is not publication.
- Manage Rovo access
Supports: Admin controls · Default state · Availability · Primary source
Organization admins configure Rovo access in Atlassian Administration and can block apps from Rovo features, disabling all current and upcoming AI features for that app while previously generated content remains. Create with Rovo is named as an AI feature common across Jira family apps that remains available while any Jira app on the site has Rovo enabled.
Rovo is available for apps on Standard, Premium and Enterprise plans and everyone in the organization will have access to Rovo features, subject to admin app blocking and AI activation.
Confluence is a supported app for Rovo; Rovo is not available in Atlassian Government organizations; some features may not be available in sandbox environments.
- How Rovo credits work
Supports: Admin controls · Default state · Licensing · Primary source
Organization and billing admins can track Rovo credit usage, set spending limits and disable extra usage at any time.
Turning on Rovo requires the organization admin to be on a verified business domain; Rovo cannot be enabled where the organization is registered with a generic email domain.
Rovo credits are included in all paid Confluence cloud subscriptions at 25 (Standard), 70 (Premium) and 150 (Enterprise) per user per month, pooled at organization level and reset monthly without rollover. Each invocation of an Atlassian AI feature is a billable event; extra usage billing takes effect 3 December 2026.
- What is Rovo?
Supports: Data access · Permission basis · General · Primary source
Rovo Search combines results from Atlassian apps and connected third-party apps and respects user permissions, so users only see what they already have access to.
Rovo respects the invoking user's existing permissions; no separate execution identity is documented.
