About This Feature
Overview
Hyperlink File Click Safety Reminder is a document security feature in the WPS 365 Windows client management console. It displays a security prompt when a member clicks an external hyperlink in a document, helping organizations reduce the risk of opening unsafe links.
Its main capabilities include:
- Turn on hyperlink safety reminders for external hyperlinks in online documents.
- Add controlled domains by entering a domain address and description, then saving the rule.

| Capability Summary | WPS lets admins configure click safety reminders for external hyperlinks in online documents and manage reminder rules by domain. | Microsoft Office provides security alerts for suspicious website links and files, with a stronger focus on app-level security settings in Office. | Google Docs supports adding, updating, and removing links, and it can show link details, but the official help page does not show domain-based click reminder management. | Notion supports link previews and mentions for supported external links, with a focus on previews and connected app access. | Adobe Acrobat lets users allow, block, or always ask for website links in PDFs and supports custom website lists. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Admins can centrally manage controlled domain reminder rules for online document collaboration. | Compared with WPS: It focuses more on Trust Center security settings in Office apps and does not show centralized domain reminder management for online documents on the cited page. | Compared with WPS: It focuses more on link editing and link details rather than centralized domain reminder rules. | Compared with WPS: It focuses more on live link previews and app authentication than document hyperlink click reminders. | Compared with WPS: It provides allow, block, and ask controls for website links in PDFs, while WPS is closer to online document collaboration reminder management. |
| Official Source | — | Security alerts about suspicious websites | Work with links and bookmarks | Link previews | Allow or block website links in PDFs |
Overall Conclusion: For organizations that need centralized reminder management for external links in online documents, WPS is more aligned with admin-managed collaboration workflows. Other products also provide link-related features, but their focus is different, such as app security settings, link editing and previews, or PDF website link controls.
