FAQ

What should I do if I forget the document password?

  2. If you did not record it, try the passwords you commonly use and verify carefully.
  3. If the password still cannot be verified, it cannot be recovered directly, so it is recommended to keep a secure password record for important files.

  1. Yes. You can share the encrypted presentation file normally.
  2. After sending the file, share the password through a separate and safer channel.
  3. Remind the recipient to enter the open password or modify password as needed.

Does password protection affect Auto Save or the saved file status?

  1. After setting the password, complete the confirmation step as prompted.
  2. Save the file normally.
