How-to Guide

1. View and edit a document while offline

Entry point: WPS Windows client → a smart document that is already open and not closed

1. Open WPS Office on your Windows device.
2. While you still have internet access, open the smart document you plan to work on and keep it open.
3. When the device goes offline, return to that document.
4. Continue viewing and editing the document. Your changes are kept locally.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: the document still opens and shows its existing content after the connection is lost.
• You can continue: you can type, revise, or add content normally.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: if the document has already been closed, you may not be able to reopen that smart document while offline.
• Environment note: this workflow depends on the Windows desktop client, and the document needs to be opened in advance.

2. Sync offline changes after reconnecting

Entry point: reconnect to the internet → open the document that was edited offline

1. Restore the device's internet connection.
2. Open the document that you edited offline in the WPS client.
3. Wait while WPS detects the local changes.
4. Let the app sync those changes to the cloud automatically.
5. After sync finishes, collaborators can see the latest content.

Success Criteria

• Interface result: the document opens normally after reconnection, and your offline edits are still present.
• You can continue: after sync completes, you can keep collaborating online or continue editing.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: if you do not reopen the document after reconnecting, the sync process may not start promptly.
• Environment note: automatic sync requires a working internet connection.
