About This Feature

Overview

File is a basic file-handling capability in WPS on macOS for opening, editing, previewing, saving, and retrieving exam-related file content. After you enter the exam file settings area, you can continue with parameter setup, preview checks, and saving.

Core tasks include:

  • Open the exam file entry from the form editor.
  • Set exam file parameters in the editing panel.
  • Preview the current result before saving.
  • Save the current changes.
  • Retrieve result files such as score reports in later steps.

This workflow is useful for exam setup, pre-release checks, and result organization.
