Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On macOS, WPS collaboration lets you right-click a target conversation in the chat list and choose Remove Session to take it out of the current list. The list refreshes after removal. | Microsoft Teams on desktop can hide a one-to-one chat, remove one-to-one chat history, or let you leave a group chat, with different outcomes for each action. | Google Chat on desktop can hide or delete a 1:1 direct message. A hidden conversation can appear again after you chat with that person later. | Notion mainly offers Inbox notification archiving and read management. It does not document an equivalent chat-thread removal flow for a conversation list. | Adobe Acrobat AI Assistant can manage and clear PDF chat history, but the object is an AI conversation tied to a PDF rather than a collaboration chat list. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The action is available directly from the conversation list context menu. Distinct: It helps clean up the current collaboration view while keeping cloud chat records available. | Compared with WPS: Desktop behavior is split across hide, remove history, and leave actions, so the result depends on the chat type and option used. | Compared with WPS: The official flow focuses on 1:1 direct messages rather than the same kind of collaboration conversation list cleanup. | Compared with WPS: The official capability is centered on Inbox notification archiving, not direct removal of a chat session from a conversation list. | Compared with WPS: The official capability is about AI Assistant chat history management, so the usage scenario differs from collaboration message cleanup. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS focuses on quick conversation-list cleanup in a collaboration workflow. Compared with the alternatives above, the feature is closer to list organization than full message deletion, which makes it suitable when you want a cleaner view without removing cloud chat records.
