About This Feature
Overview
Collaboration Mode in WPS Office on Android is a set of document actions for sharing files, opening review-related entries, and continuing edits on a phone.
Core capabilities include:
- Using the top menu bar to share a file, search content, and open more actions.
- Opening the bottom tools panel to access tabs such as Home, Insert, View, and Review.
- Switching from reading mode to editing mode to modify document content.
- Performing basic editing actions in the editing area, including selection, copy, cut, paste, undo, and zoom.

This workflow is useful for team review, mobile edits, checking shared files while away from a computer, and sending quick feedback.

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical choice for users who need to continue text-document collaboration tasks on Android, especially when sharing, review entries, and basic editing need to stay in one mobile workflow.
