About This Feature

Overview

Add Collaborators is a collaboration feature for WPS cloud documents on macOS. It lets you share a document with specific people or distribute access through a link. You can choose collaborators from your contacts, copy a sharing link, and assign edit or view-only permissions for different collaboration needs.

Core tasks include:

Add collaborators from contacts: useful when you already know who should join the document.
Add collaborators by link: useful for quick distribution across chat, email, or temporary project groups.

Common use cases include team drafting, class material sharing, and review collection.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Lets you add collaborators from the Share entry, choose people from contacts, copy a sharing link, and set edit or view-only permissions for a cloud document.	Word lets you share a document from Share, enter names or email addresses, and co-edit after the file is shared.	Google Docs lets you share files with specific people, assign Viewer, Commenter, or Editor access, and share by link through Google Drive.	Notion lets you invite people by name or email, share with a workspace, and copy a page link with view, comment, or edit access.	Adobe Acrobat lets you share PDFs by link or invitation for viewing, commenting, and review workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: one sharing flow supports both contact-based invitations and link sharing. Distinct: the feature is centered on document collaboration with direct edit or view-only permission setup.	Compared with WPS: Word sharing commonly depends on saving the file to OneDrive before sending invitations from the app.	Compared with WPS: Google offers more granular sharing roles, but the workflow is tied closely to the Google Drive file system.	Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented more toward page and workspace sharing than traditional document-style collaboration.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses more on PDF review and commenting than standard document co-editing.

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to invite collaborators quickly in a WPS cloud document and start shared editing right away, WPS provides a direct workflow. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe also support sharing and collaboration, but their workflows are more closely tied to their own cloud storage, workspace, or PDF review models.
