About This Feature

Overview

Immersive Mode is a focused view in WPS smart documents on Windows. It is designed to reduce on-screen collaboration distractions so you can stay focused on the current document while writing or reading.

Core tasks include:

Turn on Immersive Mode from the File tab and document settings.
Reduce collaboration interruptions by hiding other collaborators' cursors and selections.

Capability Summary	Immersive Mode in smart documents reduces collaboration distractions. When enabled, it hides other collaborators' cursors and selections and stops new @ message prompts.

WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS is directly aimed at collaborative writing focus. It can hide collaborator cursors, selections, and new @ prompts in one mode switch.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on reading assistance and display controls rather than suppressing collaboration prompts.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on hiding menus and toolbars, not on muting collaboration indicators.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on page width and layout styling, not on a dedicated collaboration quiet mode.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is focused editing in a collaborative document, WPS Immersive Mode is closer to that workflow because it reduces collaboration signals directly inside the document view. The alternatives listed here also offer cleaner reading or viewing layouts, but their official guidance emphasizes reading display, page layout, or PDF viewing rather than collaboration quiet mode.
