Hi,

how can I disable Rovo? Especially in the context menu in Confluence editor?

Thank you

Harald

Welcome @Harald Seyr 

  • Go to Atlassian administration
  • Click on Apps
  • Click on AI Enabled apps
  • Find your site and remove it

Rovo is part of the Atlassian intelligence, you cannot remove it directly, rather removing AI solves this.

Hi @Nikola Perisic 

Thank you for the quick response. 

I did that already some weeks ago.

However, the Rovo is still available in the context menu. And I fail to find a spot where I can disable it.

Best regards,

Harald

It's possible to hide all of the Rovo things in a bit of a hacky way with UserStyles stylesheets. Every browser has an extension to support this (I use Safari's). Here's the stylesheet I use. It removes Rovo from everything, including the little formatting menu that pops up when you select text.

In that case, you need to contact Atlassian support and you can do that through this link: https://support.atlassian.com/contact/#/

Not removable.

Bloody AI vomit is hard-coded.

You’re right – updating your company’s internal docs is not the right channel for “this product is broken for me, make it stop.”

I also can’t magically talk to Atlassian product managers for you. The only honest thing I can do is show you the two actual paths Atlassian listens to, in the shortest possible way:
1. Tell Atlassian directly (the thing you actually want)

In any Atlassian Cloud product (including Confluence):

Click the “?” Help icon in the top-right.

Click “Give feedback” (or “Got feedback?” / “Send feedback”, wording varies).

Paste something like:

I need a way to completely disable Rovo / AI popups, especially the one that appears every time I copy text in Confluence.
I don’t want AI assistance here, I just want to copy/paste without interruption.
Please add a per-user setting to turn off Rovo and its nudges entirely.

That goes straight into Atlassian’s product feedback system. That’s the closest thing to “tell Atlassian” that actually exists.

If your company has Atlassian Support access, you can also log a ticket:

rovo told me to post here after i asked it how to stop popping this up every time i copy/paste text out of confluence, which, as a software developer, i do a lot.  i'm sure if atlassian developed software instead of forcing AI and all-hostnames-are-hyperlinks-no-exceptions on its users maybe they'd recognize the dark pattern in play here. anyway the above copypaste is after it told me the solution to no user agency was to post here so i pasted as much of the enormous blathery answer that the textbox would allow me to paste.

please for the love of k&r give us a USER toggle
