About This Feature

Overview

Enable Collaboration Sharing is an online collaboration feature in WPS Office for Mac. It lets you upload a local document to the cloud and invite other people to view or edit it through a link.

Core capabilities include:

  • Start collaboration quickly from the Share button in the upper-right corner of a document.
  • Turn on sharing directly from the document list on the home page.
  • Set link permissions to view, edit, or specified people only.
  • Save the document to WPS Cloud Documents after collaboration is enabled and continue working across devices.
  • Check collaboration records and version history to review edit times and changes.

This feature is useful for team review, co-editing, remote material collection, and continuing work across devices.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to quickly share WPS documents, set view or edit permissions, and continue multi-person collaboration on macOS, WPS provides a direct workflow.
