Common questions about Manage Collaborators usually involve missing entry points, access after removal, and permission updates; this FAQ covers 3 frequent questions.
FAQ
Why can’t I see the Manage Collaborators entry?
- Make sure the file is a cloud document instead of a local-only file.
- Make sure you are signed in to your WPS account and connected to the internet.
- Check whether you are the document owner or an admin, because regular collaborators may not see the management entry.
Can someone still access the document after I remove them?
- First confirm that the person has been removed from the collaborator list.
- Check whether the document still has a public or broader link-sharing setting.
- If you want to fully restrict access, also change the link-sharing scope so only intended members can open it.
Why do permission changes take effect immediately?
- Permission updates in Manage Collaborators normally apply right away.
- Ask the other person to reopen the document and confirm the current access state.
- If the panel does not refresh, close it and open Manage Collaborators again to check the latest status.
