About This Feature

Overview

New User is used to add new members to a collaboration group chat in WPS on Windows. You can add people directly from the chat settings panel or open the full member page first and add them there. Both entry points open a contact picker window, where you can choose people from the Recent list or the Contacts tab.

Core capabilities include:

Add members directly from the chat settings panel while staying in the current conversation.
Add members from the full group member page when you want to review the current member list first.
Find people from recent contacts or the address list by name or department.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to add people to an active collaboration group chat quickly, WPS offers a direct workflow with two clear entry points inside the current conversation.
