About This Feature

Overview

WPS Nickname is an account profile feature in WPS Office for Windows that lets you update the display name shown with your account. It helps other people recognize you more easily in collaboration, comments, messages, and profile-related views.

Core capabilities include:

Update your account nickname: change the display name directly in Personal Center.
Check the change limit: the nickname can be changed up to 2 times within one week.
Keep your display identity current: after the update, the new nickname can appear in collaboration-related scenarios.

This feature is useful for profile maintenance, collaboration identity recognition, and account information updates. It helps you refresh the name shown to others and keep your account identity aligned with current work or study needs.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	You can change your account nickname in Personal Center in the WPS client for account display and collaboration recognition.	Microsoft Office lets users change the user name and initials associated with documents, comments, revisions, and document properties.	Google Account supports changing your name and nickname, and that information can appear across Google services.	Notion lets users change their preferred name in Settings for account and profile display.	Adobe lets users update profile information such as profile name from the account page across Adobe apps and services.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry is directly available from the avatar area and Personal Center in the WPS Windows client, making display-name updates quick for signed-in users.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses more on Office author information and app personalization than on a dedicated in-app nickname field in a client home page.	Compared with WPS: Google manages broader account identity across many services, while WPS keeps the nickname path inside the WPS client workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion uses Settings and preferred-name management, mainly for workspace and account profile contexts.	Compared with WPS: Adobe profile updates are centered on the account page and broader account management across Adobe services.

Overall Conclusion: If you mainly want to update the display name used inside the WPS Windows client, WPS provides a direct path through the avatar area and Personal Center. Other products also support name or profile updates, but they are often designed for broader account systems or document author settings rather than the same in-client nickname workflow.
