When using WPS Message History on macOS, common questions usually involve where to find the entry, how jump actions work, and how context view behaves; this FAQ covers 3 frequent questions and a short glossary.
FAQ
Why can’t I see the “View Message History” button in chat?
- Make sure you are in the WPS collaboration chat interface rather than a regular document editing view.
- Check whether the entry appears above the message editor bar.
- If it still does not appear, re-enter the current conversation and confirm that your account has access to it.
Why can’t I click “Jump to Chat” directly for images or attachments?
- Find the target image or attachment message in the history window.
- Right-click the image or attachment.
- Select Jump to Chat from the menu to locate the original message.
What is the difference between “View Context” and “Jump to Chat”?
- Jump to Chat takes you back to the original location of the message.
- View Context shows the messages before and after the selected item in the chat record window.
- Use Jump to Chat when you want to return to the original thread position, and use View Context when you want to read the surrounding conversation continuously.
