Elevation to help distinguish Rovo

Rovo uses the Atlassian Design System elevation model, with one addition: the elevation.rovo.surface.overlay token. Use this token when Rovo appears as an overlay inside another app, as it creates visual distinction. When Rovo runs as a standalone app, use Atlassian Design System core elevations.

Rovo overlay

When Rovo appears as an overlay or modal inside an app, use elevation.rovo.surface.overlay. For example, AI create, remix or omnibar experiences.

Rovo actions among other actions

When Rovo actions appear among other non-Rovo actions in a toolbar or menu, the surface defaults to Atlassian Design System core elevations. Rovo actions use a Rovo icon or logo and text to make it clear when it’s AI-powered.
