About This Feature

Overview

Sign Out is an account management feature in WPS Office for macOS. It lets you leave the current signed-in account, switch users on the same Mac, and decide whether local cloud-document cache and file backups should be kept on the device.

Core capabilities include:

Sign out of the current account from the profile menu.
Sign out of all accounts on the current device.
Choose whether to clear local data or keep it for the next session.

This feature is useful on shared Macs, temporary workstations, account-switching scenarios, and privacy-focused workflows. After sign-out is complete, WPS returns to a signed-out state.

Capability Summary	On macOS, WPS lets you open the profile menu on the home screen, sign out of the current account or all accounts, and choose whether local cache and backups stay on the device.	Microsoft 365 or Office supports signing out in the app or from the web. Microsoft says sign-out disconnects the app from services such as OneDrive and removes settings and recent files.	Google Docs supports switching between multiple Google accounts in the browser. To use only one account, Google instructs users to sign out of all accounts and then sign in again.	Notion supports logging out from the workspace switcher and also supports remote logout for active sessions.	Acrobat supports signing out from the Help menu to deactivate the current subscription sign-in state or switch Adobe IDs.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines account-scope selection and local data-retention choices in one sign-out flow. Distinct: It fits shared Mac cleanup and quick account switching well.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft also supports remote sign-out, but its guidance focuses more on service disconnection, settings removal, and subscription behavior than on local cache retention choices during sign-out.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on browser-based account switching and less on local desktop cache handling.	Compared with WPS: Notion includes remote session control, but its guidance centers more on account security and session management than on local document cache retention.	Compared with WPS: Adobe supports sign-out and sign-in for subscription activation workflows, but the official guidance is more activation-oriented.

Overall Conclusion
WPS provides a more direct sign-out flow for everyday account switching on a Mac, especially when you also need to decide whether local cache and backups should remain on the device. Other products also support sign-out, but their official guidance is more focused on account ecosystems, remote sessions, or subscription activation behavior.
