FAQ

Can someone still see the document after I remove them as a collaborator?

1. Open the document sharing settings.
2. Check whether the current link permission still allows anyone to view or edit.
3. If needed, change the link permission to a more restricted scope.
4. Confirm again that the target member has been removed from the collaborator list.

Why can’t I see the Manage Collaborators entry?

1. Confirm that the current file supports online collaboration.
2. Check that you are signed in to your WPS account and connected to the internet.
3. Confirm that you have document owner or admin permission.
4. If the entry still does not appear, update WPS Office and try again.

When does a permission change take effect?

1. Change the permission in the collaborator list.
2. Wait for the interface to refresh the member’s permission status.
3. In most cases, the change takes effect right away.
4. If the other person still sees the old permission, ask them to reopen the document and check again.
