Rovo AI spell check deleted half of my document that was in draft

[Jaesung Seo]

Before publishing my document, I asked Rovo to check spelling on my work.
While doing updating my document, on the halfway, it stopped and it looks like the rest of my content have disappeared.

I am not able to roll back as there were no versions.

Please assist me to restore my content.

Hi @Jaesung Seo !

Unfortunately, if the changes suggested by Rovo were accepted and the page was saved, Confluence does not provide a way to restore content that was overwritten if no page versions were created at that moment.

As a first step, please try using Ctrl + Z (Cmd + Z on macOS) if the editor is still open — in some cases this can undo recent changes that have not yet been fully committed.

If the page was already saved and no previous versions are available under Page history, then reverting the content is unfortunately not possible via Confluence UI.

As a precaution for the future, I recommend:

• Checking changes suggested by Rovo incrementally

• Saving drafts or creating manual page versions before applying large automated updates

Thank @Oleksii Melnyk _MOY Apps_ I'd add... For the future, apply Rovo edits in smaller steps, manually save drafts, or use Live Docs, which auto-create versions and make recovery much easier.

• If Rovo edits are applied and saved and no page version exists, Confluence cannot restore overwritten content.

• Undo (Ctrl/Cmd + Z) only works if the editor session is still open.

• Standard Confluence pages only create versions on save; there’s no hidden recovery.

• Live Docs do automatically create system versions and are the safest option for AI-assisted edits.

@Dr Valeri Colon _Connect Centric_, great idea with Live Docs! I didn’t even think of them at first

I only know because I too had my work deleted...

Happened to me once (not with Rovo 😅), and since then I'm using live docs > system saves versions automatically so you can restore things more efficiently. 👀 

But yeah... as others said, if you don't have content versions, you cannot restore what Rovo has overwritten :/
