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.

Rovo’s spell check updates the page content directly, and if the process is interrupted, it can replace the draft without creating a new version. If the page history shows no previous versions, Confluence itself doesn’t have anything to roll back to.

A few things you can still try (long shots, but worth checking):

Check the page history again after refreshing — sometimes versions appear with a delay.

If you were editing in a browser, try undo (Ctrl/Cmd + Z) if the editor is still open.

Check your browser’s local cache / session restore or any clipboard/history tools you use.

If this was a recently created draft, check Recently viewed → Drafts to make sure you’re on the correct page.

Your best next step is to contact Atlassian Support with the page URL, space key, and approximate time of the change. They can sometimes check backend logs, but recovery is not always possible.

For the future, it’s safer to:

Manually save or publish before running AI tools

Keep a local copy for long drafts

Use versioned edits (publish more frequently)

Sadly, if no version exists, restoration is very limited.

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

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 :/
