Anyone else just...not want Rovo in the Confluence GUI?

Hey, if you like using this thing, that’s cool. I do not like using Rovo and I do not like it cluttering up my user experience in Confluence Cloud which is otherwise pretty solid. Every time I have clicked the Rovo options it was a mistake, often because the UX designers have chosen, or been ordered, to put those options in the best first-order-retrievable location.

That implies that you expect users to access an LLM as the first and most useful feature, every time. Was there any user research to back this decision up? I know the option to turn off the Rovo options in the user settings entirely has been considered, because I found an FAQ several months ago that stated “No! It is not possible to turn off Rovo, thanks!”, so I know you did enough research to find out that people would like to be able to turn it off.

Can I speak to the manager? What’s going on? How hard do people have to scream for any administrator or executive to hear? ALOT of people do no want this stuff.

Welcome to the Atlassian Developer Community @MichaelOliver,

Sorry that it’s under such frustrating circumstances. Admins can both turn off Rovo entirely, and can enable/disable for users: Manage Rovo access for Enterprise | Atlassian Support

That said, I don’t know how to put you in touch with your own org’s admins.

For that matter, while this category is called Rovo, perhaps your user-experience frustrations are better expressed in the user community: Atlassian AI & Rovo - Atlassian Community

If only because folks there would be listening for those kinds of concerns, where here are folks who are coding with Rovo or building Rovo Agents with Forge.
