About This Feature
Overview
Data Handover is an enterprise admin feature in WPS on Windows for transferring a member’s business data to designated recipients when roles change, responsibilities shift, or an employee leaves the organization.
Its main capabilities include:

- Review the handover scope, including member documents, team document permissions, schedules, and meetings.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Designed for enterprise member handover, with one admin flow for member documents, team document permissions, schedules, meetings, and handover records. | Microsoft 365 support content focuses on document sharing and link permissions for collaboration. The referenced official page does not describe one unified member data handover flow like WPS. | Google Drive supports transferring ownership of files and folders to another account, with organization-only transfer rules for work or school accounts. The official page focuses on file and folder ownership transfer. | Notion lets workspace owners transfer private pages from a recently removed user to another current user. The official help page focuses on private content recovery after a user leaves. | Adobe Acrobat Sign lets admins transfer ownership of library templates and web forms. The official page focuses on template assets rather than broad enterprise member data handover. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: One handover flow can cover multiple enterprise asset categories and keep a handover record for follow-up review. | Compared with WPS: The official page is centered on sharing and permission settings, not a single workflow for handing over multiple categories of a member’s enterprise data. | Compared with WPS: Ownership transfer is available for files and folders, but the official page does not cover team permissions, schedules, meetings, or a unified handover record. | Compared with WPS: The official page is limited to private pages from recently left users and states that the feature applies to Enterprise Plan workspaces. | Compared with WPS: The official page is limited to library templates and web forms, so the transfer scope is narrower than enterprise member data handover. |
| Official Source | — | Share your documents | Make someone else the owner of your file | Transfer content from a deprovisioned user | Transfer ownership of library templates and web forms |
Overall Conclusion
If your team needs one admin process to hand over several categories of enterprise assets during offboarding or role changes, WPS Data Handover is a practical fit. The compared official pages from other products mainly describe sharing, ownership transfer for files, private page recovery, or template ownership transfer, which are narrower than a unified enterprise data handover workflow.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable Users | Main Pain Point | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Offboarding data transfer | Enterprise admins, HR teams, department managers | A departing member’s work data is scattered and hard to continue using | Use Data Handover to transfer documents, permissions, schedules, and meetings in one process |
| 2 | Role reassignment handover | Team managers | Role-related materials need to be reassigned quickly to a new owner | Assign different recipients for different data categories |
| 3 | Team permission cleanup | Enterprise admins | Team document permissions still point to the original member | Process team document permissions during the same handover flow |
| 4 | Handover result review | Auditors and managers | It is hard to confirm whether the transfer is complete | Review the generated handover record after processing |
| 5 | Large-volume transfer preparation | Enterprise admins | Large transfers may take longer and are easier to miss items in | Review the handover scope first, then submit the transfer and wait for processing |
