Rovo archives page without permission and is unaware of the change

Shane Lacey

I ran into a worrying issue using the Atlassian Intelligence assistant to make very small, targeted edits to a Confluence Cloud page.

• I asked the assistant to make surgical, content-only changes to a PRD (minor table edits, wording tweaks), explicitly not touching page structure or location.

• The assistant described the planned changes and, after I clicked its confirmation prompt, responded with “Processed successfully.”

• Immediately after refreshing the page:

  • The page no longer appeared under its original folder in the space’s page tree (a “Product Requirement Documents” section).

  • In the UI it effectively looked orphaned / archived relative to that folder.

• At the same time:

  • The page content now reflects the edited state.

  • When I asked the assistant what happened, it:

    • Could not see or explain any move/archive/parent change,

    • Gave explanations inconsistent with what I see in the actual document (e.g., talking as if some edits had not applied).

From my perspective, this looks like:

• An AI operation that:

  • Reports success,

  • Results in the page no longer being where it was in the space tree,

  • And leaves the assistant unable to surface a clear, auditable record of what structural changes (if any) it actually made.

Why I’m concerned:

• I only requested content tweaks, but the page’s placement in the space changed around the same time as the AI action.

• The assistant’s own “view” of the page state seems out of sync with what Confluence is actually showing me.

• There’s no obvious, user-visible audit trail from the AI describing: “I changed these fields and also moved/archived this page.”

Hi @Shane Lacey - welcome to the Community,

the User Confirmation Buttons like "Create" "Insert into Page" "Replace" etc. represent the respective API calls. So i think it unlikely that Rovo would move/archive pages when the user has not confirmed that action.

Confluence doesn't log content reordering or moving.

But: it's a software and Bugs are not out of the ordinary. We've not seen similar behaviour mentioned here on this Community yet and I've not seen anything myself. Have you opened a Support Request at support.atlassian.com?
