Create new content items with Rovo

Generate Confluence content quickly using Rovo. Describe what you need — add files or links for context — and Rovo creates a draft for you. You can then review and edit the content with built-in tools like chat, AI suggestions, and quick actions.

Create with Rovo saves you time and makes it easier to get started with new pages, live docs, or whiteboards.

Start creating with Rovo

To get started, select Create in the top navigation. Then select Create with Rovo. All you need to do is add a prompt.

The Create menu open, with Create with Rovo highlighted.

What’s a prompt?

A prompt is a collection of words, phrases, or sentences in plain natural language. It tells an AI tool (like Rovo) exactly what you want it to do and helps it generate the best result. We recommended being as clear, simple, and specific as possible when writing a prompt.

Examples:

  • “Draft a project kickoff plan for our new marketing campaign.”

  • “Summarize the Q3 engineering retrospective.”

  1. Start with a simple description of what you need.

  2. Select Add ( icon) to include additional context with:

    • Files

    • Links

    • A template

    • An @mention of a person.

    • Additional formatting

  3. Select settings ( icon)to change how Rovo answers.

    • Deep research: Rovo uses a multistep approach and takes more time to try to provide better answers.

    • Include web results: Rovo will search the internet.

    • Search company knowledge: Rovo will search your linked apps such as Jira, Trello, or Google Drive.

    • Filter by apps: Select which apps and integrations Rovo should use.

  4. Use speech to text to speak directly to Rovo using your device’s microphone.

  5. When you’ve added everything, select Submit ().

  6. Create with Rovo will suggest starting prompts based on what it already knows about your work. Select More ideas to expand these suggestions.

The preview area

When you submit your prompt, Rovo works on an initial draft of your content in the preview area, which takes up all of your screen. The preview area can contain written content or whiteboard elements. Unlike when you create a live doc, page, or whiteboard, the contents of the preview panel have not yet been added to a space. Only you can see it until you select Add to Confluence.

When Rovo is done drafting your content, you can edit it directly or use Rovo chat to describe what you want to change, do, or know next.

Always review AI-generated content for accuracy before making it publicly accessible, especially for sensitive or customer-facing documentation.

When you Create with Rovo, edit your previewed content:

  • Change the text yourself

    • Use the / slash command to insert elements

  • Select the content you want to edit, then use the AI actions displayed:

    • Ask Rovo lets you prompt a specific section

    • More AI actions in the dropdown lets you choose from quick ways to transform content

    • Improve writing to improve the selection

  • Continue the chat with Rovo

    • Use the open chat on the right or select Ask Rovo in the toolbar to tell Rovo what changes you want. For example, you could ask Rovo to “Change all headings to sentence case”.

Add your content to a Confluence space

The Add to Confluence button in the Rovo Preview Area.

When your content preview is ready, add it to a space:

  1. Select Add to Confluence.

  2. Choose any space and parent item.

  3. If you’ve created written content, you can add it as a live doc, a draft page, or a whiteboard. Live docs and whiteboards allow real-time editing while pages must be published.

  4. Select Add. You can always continue to make edits to your content once it’s added to a space, including switching between live doc and page or converting it to a blog post.

Use chat get to back to Rovo-created content

Anything you Create with Rovo is saved as a preview. You can find your way back to it anytime, even if you navigate away or close your browser.

The Ask Rovo button in the top navigation.

To reopen content you’ve previously created with Rovo:

  1. Open Rovo chat by selecting Ask Rovo at the top right of your screen.

  2. Select Menu at the top left and then find the previous prompt you submitted in chat history. Select it.

  3. From the chat panel, select the preview card to reopen it.
