Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Lets you open Personal Center from the profile menu on macOS and change the account nickname used for collaboration, comments, and messages.	Microsoft Office lets users change the user name and initials used in comments, revisions, and document properties.	Google Docs shows the signed-in Google Account name and email in access requests, and comment identity also depends on the account name.	Notion lets users change their Preferred name in Settings → {your name} for profile and collaboration display.	Adobe lets users update profile information, including profile name, from the account page.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the nickname entry is available directly inside the WPS client account area, and the feature also states a weekly change limit.	Compared with WPS: focuses more on Office author name and initials than on a separate nickname entry.	Compared with WPS: identity display depends on the Google Account, rather than a dedicated nickname setting inside Docs.	Compared with WPS: supports a preferred name, mainly within workspace and profile contexts.	Compared with WPS: profile-name management is centered in the web account page.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to update your account display name directly inside the desktop app, WPS provides a shorter path. Other products usually place name settings in account profile, author information, or workspace profile areas, so their setup context is different from WPS Nickname.
