Capability Summary	Provides a side message panel on the WPS Office home page to centralize mentions, document comments, and access requests, with options to mark all as read and manage notification reminders.	Microsoft supports comment and @mention notifications by email, and shared file update notifications can appear in-app, in the system notification center, or by email.	Google Drive supports notifications for shared files, comment or action-item mentions, and file access requests.	Notion collects @mentions, comment replies, page updates, and related alerts in Inbox, with desktop, mobile, and email notifications.	Adobe Acrobat shows document status notifications for sharing, review, and signing from the bell icon, and also supports system notifications and email digests.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps cloud document collaboration messages in one entry point on the home page. Distinct: it also supports one-click mark-all-read and an in-panel notification switch for quick cleanup.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft covers comments and shared file updates, but notification entry points are spread across comments, files, email, and system notifications.	Compared with WPS: Google covers sharing, mentions, and access requests, but users often manage them through Drive settings, browser alerts, or email.	Compared with WPS: Notion has strong inbox aggregation for workspace collaboration, while WPS is more directly tied to office document collaboration on the home page.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on PDF review, sharing, and signing workflows, while WPS focuses on everyday office document collaboration messages.
