WPS Offline Mode on macOS FAQ

Last updated:July 23, 2026

When using WPS Offline Mode, the most common questions focus on which files stay editable offline, when sync starts, and how collaboration conflicts are handled; this section covers 3 common questions and practical suggestions.

FAQ

Which documents can I open while offline?

  1. Open AirPage files that were already opened in the WPS desktop app and were not closed.
  2. After going offline, confirm that the document content is displayed normally.
  3. If the target document was not opened in advance, reconnect to the internet and access it again.

Why did my document not sync immediately after the network returned?

  1. Confirm that your Mac has a working internet connection again.
  2. Reopen the document that you edited offline so WPS can detect local changes.
  3. Wait for automatic sync to finish before asking collaborators to review the latest version.

What happens if multiple people edit during offline work?

  1. During offline work, the local cache keeps the current user's edits first.
  2. If other collaborators also edit the same document during that time, WPS tries to merge the changes after reconnection.
  3. If you notice differences in the content, review the final synced version promptly.
