About This Feature

Overview

Sign Out is an account management feature in WPS Office for Windows. It lets you end the current account session and choose whether to keep or remove local cloud document cache and file backup data on the device.

Core tasks include:

Sign out of the current account: End the current sign-in session on this device and return to the signed-out state.
Choose how local data is handled: During sign-out, you can clear local data and remove the sign-in record, or keep data for the next use.

This feature is useful on shared computers, public devices, temporary workstations, or when you need to switch accounts.

If you need a direct Windows desktop sign-out path with a clear choice for local data handling, WPS keeps the process focused in one place. Other products place more emphasis on license status, browser account systems, or remote session control depending on their product design.
