About This Feature

Overview

Label Bar helps you manage multiple document tabs in one window, so you can switch between files and organize open documents more efficiently. On macOS, WPS opens multiple documents as tabs in the same window by default and provides actions such as pinning tabs, closing tabs in batches, opening a tab in a separate window, and moving tabs into workspace windows.

Core capabilities include:

Tab switching: move between open documents in the same window.
Pin tabs: keep important documents easier to retain during daily work.
Batch closing: close the current tab, tabs on the right, other tabs, or all tabs.
Separate window display: split the current tab into its own window for side-by-side work.
Workspace window management: move tabs into a new or existing workspace window for grouped handling.

This feature is useful for document review, side-by-side reference work, keeping important files easy to reach, and handling multiple tasks in parallel.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Manages multiple documents as tabs in one window and supports pinning tabs, batch closing, separate windows, and workspace windows.	Word support content highlights side-by-side viewing and split windows for multiple documents, but the cited page does not describe a native document tab bar in one window.	Google Docs supports document tabs inside a single document to organize structure and navigation.	Notion supports multiple database view tabs, view switching, reordering, and page opening modes.	Acrobat supports opening PDFs in the app and provides reading modes, full screen mode, and workspace controls focused on document viewing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: built for multi-document tab management in one desktop window. Distinct: combines pin tabs, separate windows, and workspace window grouping in one workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's cited workflow focuses more on multiple windows and split views than on same-window document tabs.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs tabs are mainly for sections within one document, not for switching among separate desktop files in one tab bar.	Compared with WPS: Notion tabs mainly refer to database views rather than file tabs for desktop office documents.	Compared with WPS: Adobe's cited page focuses more on PDF viewing modes and workspace controls than on the same type of multi-document tab management.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to work with several separate documents in one window and switch, pin, or split them quickly, WPS Label Bar is a practical fit for that workflow on macOS. The compared products also provide tab or multi-view related features, but their cited capabilities focus more on split windows, document structure, database views, or PDF viewing workspaces.

Use Cases

1	Fast switching across documents	General office users	Moving back and forth between files takes time	Click document tabs directly in the Label Bar
2	Keeping important files easy to reach	Reviewers and editors	Important files may be closed by mistake	Pin tabs to keep key documents visible
3	Cleaning up many open files	Heavy multitask users	Too many open documents are hard to manage	Use close, close others, close right-side tabs, or close all
4	Side-by-side comparison work	Research and comparison editing users	One document needs to be pulled out into its own window	Use Separate Window Display for the current tab
5	Grouping files by task	Project-based users	Files from different tasks are mixed together	Move tabs into a new or existing workspace window
