About This Feature
Overview
Default Display for CC and BCC is a mail compose setting in WPS Office for macOS. It helps you show the Cc and Bcc fields automatically in new email drafts, so you do not need to expand them every time.
Main tasks include:
- Show the Cc and Bcc fields manually in the compose window when you need to add extra recipients for a specific message.
- Turn on Always show Cc and Always show Bcc in sending settings so future new emails display these fields by default.
This feature is useful for team notices, privacy-sensitive email delivery, and workflows that often require contacts from the address book.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In the compose window, you can show the Cc and Bcc fields. In Sending Settings, you can enable Always show Cc and Always show Bcc so new emails display these fields by default. | Outlook support explains how to show Bcc while composing or replying, and notes that after Bcc is turned on it appears each time you create a message until it is turned off. | Gmail Help explains that you can add recipients in the Cc and Bcc fields while composing and describes how Bcc works for recipient privacy. The official page does not describe an always-show default setting on the same page. | Notion Mail help lists Add cc and Add bcc shortcuts in the compose experience. | Adobe official guidance mainly covers Acrobat Sign custom sending workflows and email distribution settings rather than a general email compose interface. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS lets you control default visibility for both Cc and Bcc in new emails, and the related entry points cover both the compose window and sending settings. | Compared with WPS: the official Outlook page focuses on showing Bcc, while the documented behavior is centered on Bcc visibility rather than separate default controls for both fields on the same help page. | Compared with WPS: Gmail officially documents adding Cc and Bcc during composition, but the same help page does not document a default always-show setup for both fields. | Compared with WPS: Notion Mail documents quick compose actions for cc and bcc, but the official information is more shortcut-focused than default field display settings. | Compared with WPS: Adobe does not provide a like-for-like mail compose default field display workflow in the cited official page. |

Overall Conclusion
If you often send emails that need both visible and hidden recipients, WPS gives you a more direct setup for showing these fields in new drafts. Compared with the cited official pages, WPS is more aligned with a workflow that combines on-demand display and default display in one mail experience.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main issue | How this feature helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Team notifications | Admin staff and coordinators | Repeatedly expanding the Cc field in every draft | Turn on default Cc display and fill it in directly |
| 2 | Privacy-sensitive delivery | HR, finance, and project owners | Some recipient addresses should stay hidden | Use the Bcc field directly in new emails |
| 3 | Fast contact selection | Users who send group emails often | Manual address entry is slow | Use the + entry next to Cc or Bcc to choose contacts |
| 4 | Standardized new drafts | Teams with fixed sending habits | Recipient field visibility is inconsistent across drafts | Enable default display in Sending Settings |
| 5 | Temporary extra recipients | General office users | Only some emails need Cc or Bcc | Show the fields only when needed in the compose window |
