What should I do if I cannot find the Document entry in the left navigation?

  1. Make sure WPS collaboration on Windows is open and that you are signed in successfully.
  2. Check whether the left navigation pane is expanded.
  3. If the Document icon still does not appear, update the client and sign in again.

Why can’t I open a shared document?

  1. Make sure you are signed in with the correct organization account.
  2. Check whether you have permission to access the shared document.
  3. If the file appears in the list but still does not open, ask the document owner to grant access again.

Why is the Recent list empty?

  1. Confirm whether you accessed related documents recently under the current account.
  2. Check whether your network connection is working normally so the list can load.
  3. If the list is still empty, open a file from Cloud Documents or Team Documents first, then return to Recent.
