About This Feature
Overview
Dissolve Team is a team management feature in the WPS client for Windows. It lets a team owner close a team workspace and remove member access to all files in that team.
Core capabilities include:
- Dissolve a specific team: Open Team Documents and run the dissolve action for the target team.
- Remove access: After the team is dissolved, members can no longer access files in that team.
- Keep an admin record: The dissolved team is moved to the Dissolved Teams area in the admin side.
This feature is useful for project wrap-up, team restructuring, and temporary collaboration spaces that are no longer needed. Before you continue, make sure important files have been exported or handed over if needed.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS on Windows, a team owner can open Team Documents, choose a target team folder, and dissolve the team. After that, members lose access to all files in the team, and the team moves to a dissolved record area. | Microsoft documents focus on co-authoring, shared storage, and inherited permissions in SharePoint and OneDrive. The cited page explains collaboration and permission inheritance rather than a direct team-dissolve action. | Google Drive documents focus on sharing files and folders, assigning Viewer, Commenter, or Editor roles, and managing inherited access. The cited page does not describe a direct team-space dissolve action. | Notion documents explain teamspace management, including access settings, archiving, and restoring archived teamspaces. The cited page states that a teamspace can be archived, not deleted. | Adobe Document Cloud documents focus on sharing, review, signatures, and tracking shared files. The cited page does not describe a team workspace dissolve action. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct team-level dissolve action for the workspace itself. Distinct: dissolving the team removes member access and keeps a follow-up admin record. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes document collaboration and permission management in shared libraries, so closing a collaboration space usually depends on site or permission administration. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes file and folder sharing controls, which fit access management for content items rather than a team workspace lifecycle action. | Compared with WPS: Notion emphasizes archiving a teamspace instead of deleting it, which is better suited to preserving the space structure and content. | Compared with WPS: Adobe emphasizes document-level sharing and review workflows rather than team workspace lifecycle management. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need a direct way to close a team workspace and stop member access to team files, WPS is more closely aligned with that workflow. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe focus more on document sharing, permission control, archiving, or review workflows, so their documented workflows serve a different primary purpose.
Use Cases
| # | Scenario | Target Users | Core Pain Point | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Project wrap-up | Project leads, team owners | Team members still keep access after a project ends | Open Team Documents and dissolve the team to close access in one action |
| 2 | Team restructuring | Department managers | The original team is no longer needed and file access must be reclaimed | Dissolve the old team and rebuild access under the new structure if needed |
| 3 | Temporary collaboration closure | Cross-team coordinators | A temporary team still occupies the list and management space after work is done | Dissolve the team and keep the dissolved record for later management |
| 4 | Permission cleanup | Admins, team owners | Historical teams leave unnecessary access behind | Use Dissolve Team to stop continued access to team files |
| 5 | Pre-migration cleanup | Team owners | Important files need to be checked before the team is closed | Export important files first, then dissolve the team |
