About This Feature

Overview

Configuration Check is a built-in review tool in the WPS automation editor on Windows. It helps you find workflow setup issues and fix them before you turn on a flow.

Core tasks include:

Open the Configuration Check panel: access the panel from the left side of the automation editor to review the current issue count and status.
Review and fix issues: select an item in the issue list, jump to the related step, make corrections, and check again until the flow can be turned on.

This feature is useful when you build a new automation, review a flow before launch, or troubleshoot why a flow cannot be enabled. It helps reduce missed required items and makes workflow setup review easier.

System Requirements

Capability Summary	Provides a Configuration Check entry on the left side of the automation editor. When issues exist, a red badge shows the count, and the right panel lists all current workflow configuration issues. You can select an issue to jump to the related step and fix it, then check again.	Power Automate provides Flow checker in the designer command bar, where users can review errors and warnings and jump to the related action to fix them.	Google Workspace Studio supports client-side and server-side validation for input variables, so users can receive validation feedback while configuring a step or when saving.	Notion database buttons show where setup errors occur while an automation is being configured, and the automation cannot be saved until required corrections are made.	Adobe Acrobat Sign lets authors apply validation rules to form fields. If validation fails, a warning appears and the form cannot be completed for signing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: the review entry stays fixed on the left side of the automation editor for quick access while editing. Distinct: the issue list can jump directly to the related workflow step, which is practical for pre-launch review.	Compared with WPS: Flow checker is placed in the command bar and focuses on design-time errors, warnings, and guidance in the designer.	Compared with WPS: Google focuses more on input validation and configuration-card checks for step inputs.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on save-time validation for button and database automation setup.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on validating form-field input rather than workflow-step configuration review.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Configuration Check is more closely aligned with workflow setup review inside an automation editor. It is especially suitable when you want to inspect required fixes before enabling a flow. Other products also provide validation features, but they focus more on designer checks, input validation, or form-field validation.
