FAQ

Does WPS save the work status every time after I turn this on?

  1. As long as Save Work Status on Exit stays enabled, WPS records the current work status when you exit the app normally.
  2. The next time you start WPS, check whether the previous tabs and editing state are restored.
  3. If nothing is restored, go back to Settings first and confirm that the option is still turned on.

Will restoring the previous state affect documents that are already open?

  1. The restore behavior is used to reopen the work status that was saved earlier.
  2. If other windows or documents are already open, confirm your current task first and then review the restore result.
  3. If you want a cleaner test, save your current files first and restart WPS again.

Can pinned tabs be saved too?

  1. Pinned tabs can be saved together with the work status.
  2. Before exiting, confirm that the related tabs are still open.
  3. After the next launch, check whether the pinned tabs were restored together with the saved state.
