About This Feature
Overview
Customize Workbench is an admin feature in WPS collaboration management that lets administrators create and manage multiple workbenches for different members or departments. In one place, admins can open the feature page, create a workbench, manage sorting options, adjust general settings, and continue with configuration, publishing, and enabling.
Core capabilities include:
- Open the Customize Workbench page to review the full four-step flow.
- Create a workbench with a name, visibility scope, and enabled views.
- Manage sorting permissions so employees can reorder or hide workbenches.
- Set the display mode for multiple workbenches.
- Continue with configuration, publishing, and enabling after creation so the workbench can appear in clients.
This feature is useful for department-based entry distribution, different layouts for desktop and mobile, and enterprise scenarios where different user groups need different workbench content.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports creating multiple workbenches in the enterprise admin console, setting visibility scope, enabling desktop or mobile views, and managing a create-configure-publish-enable workflow. | Microsoft 365 admin center provides a central admin home with cards, navigation, and dashboard views for common admin tasks and configurable task access. | Google Workspace admins can add, hide, and reorder dashboard charts for a personalized admin dashboard view. | Notion lets users customize Home and sidebar sections, including showing, moving, and hiding sections for workspace navigation. | Adobe Acrobat lets users customize the Quick action toolbar and parts of the workspace for faster access to tools. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS supports multiple workbenches for different member groups and includes a full create, configure, publish, and enable workflow in one admin feature. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on admin center cards, navigation, and dashboard management rather than publishing multiple workbenches to different member scopes. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses on dashboard chart layout changes rather than multi-workbench publishing for different member groups. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on personal or team workspace navigation customization, not an enterprise admin workbench publishing flow. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on personal toolbar and workspace customization, not enterprise workbench management for member groups. |

Overall Conclusion: If your goal is to create multiple workbenches for different member groups and manage visibility and client views from an enterprise admin console, WPS is closer to that workflow. The other products provide real customization options, but they focus more on dashboards, sidebars, or toolbars than on multi-workbench publishing.
