About This Feature
Overview
Enable Collaboration Sharing is a WPS Cloud Documents feature in WPS Office for Windows that lets you upload a local document to the cloud and invite other people to view or edit the same file through a shared link.
Core capabilities include:
- Start collaboration quickly from the Share button at the top right of the window.
- Set link permissions for viewing, editing, or designated people.
