FAQ

What is the difference between a group task and a personal task?

1. A group task is designed for collaboration inside a group chat, where related members can follow the same action item together.
2. A personal task is better for items that only you need to view and handle.
3. If the task needs shared ownership or group follow-up, use a group task.

Can I assign a task to another group member?

1. Yes. In the task editing panel, click the assignee field to change the owner.
2. Select the target group member, then confirm the task content and due date.
3. Click Create to save the task with the selected assignee.

How can I set the due date?

1. In the task editing panel, click the due date field.
2. You can choose Today or Tomorrow directly.
3. If you need another date, choose Other time and set it there.

Why can’t I see the Add to Tasks option?

1. First confirm that you are inside the target collaboration group chat rather than another page.
2. Check whether you right-clicked on a specific message, or look for the Schedule/Tasks icon in the bottom toolbar.
3. If the option still does not appear, update to the latest version of WPS Office and enter the group chat again.
