When using WPS Cloud Document Messages, common questions usually fall into 3 areas: message display, panel access, and notification reminders; this section includes 4 frequently asked questions.
FAQ
Why is the message panel empty?
- Confirm that there are currently no new collaboration messages.
- Check whether you are signed in to your WPS account.
- Make sure your network connection is working so cloud document messages can sync.
- When someone mentions you, comments on your document, or requests access, the related notification appears in the message panel.
What should I do if the message panel does not open?
- Make sure you are already on the WPS Office home page.
- Check whether your network connection is working normally.
- Confirm that your current account is signed in.
- If the panel still does not open, close and restart WPS Office, then try again.
Why do I stop getting pop-up reminders after turning notifications off?
- Open the message panel and go to settings.
- Check whether the Accept New Message Notifications switch is turned off.
- If the switch is off, new messages still enter the message panel, but no pop-up reminder is shown.
- To restore reminders, turn the switch on again.
Can I still view earlier messages after marking all as read?
- Mark All as Read only changes the read status of messages.
- Read messages can still remain visible in the message panel, depending on the current list display.
- If a message is important, review it before marking all messages as read.
