How does Rovo use archived content?

[Ilya Dmitriev]

Hi folks, could someone please confirm the exact logic Rovo uses when it comes to archived content? This article covers it partially but doesn't address the Rovo functionality specifically.

E.g., if we have a couple of outdated articles archived. Does Rovo completely excludes them from the data set it uses to generate an answer?

Thanks!

Hi Ilya,

Rovo fully excludes excludes archived Confluence pages. 

But you can work around this. You can use archived pages with Rovo, restore them temporarily (Confluence -> Archived content -> Restore). They’ll re-index (minutes to hours), then re-archive after use. For a permanent fix, upvote or create a feature request at Jira AI Feature Requests. 

Best regards, 

Peter

Hi @Ilya Dmitriev ,

Well, by default, Rovo should completely exclude archived pages/content from both search results and the dataset used to generate answers. 

I believe that if you want Rovo to include archived content, you can enable the "Show archived content" filter. (which is user-based)

There's also a feature request related to having this option enabled by default, although it's not quite related to Rovo.

Now, I couldn't find any specific documentation about this behavior, and I'm also going to move this question to the Rovo app forum group, so maybe someone can chime in and correct me if I got this wrong. 👀

Cheers,
Tobi
