When using WPS Share Methods, the most common questions focus on entry selection, permission changes, and post-sharing management; this section includes 4 frequent questions and a glossary.
FAQ
What is the difference between the two sharing methods?
- Sharing from the cloud document list does not require you to open the file first, so it is useful for quick handling from the file list.
- Sharing inside a document lets you start collaboration while editing, without interrupting your current work.
- Both methods generate a cloud document link, and both support link permissions and advanced settings afterward.
Can I change permissions after sharing?
- Yes. Open the Link Permissions drop-down menu in the sharing dialog.
- Select the access level you want to use.
- If you need more controls, open Advanced Settings.
Why can’t I see a copyable sharing link?
- First confirm that you clicked Enable collaboration to get a cloud document link.
- Check whether your device is connected to the internet, because generating the cloud link requires an online connection.
- If the link still does not appear, reopen the sharing dialog and try enabling collaboration again.
Which entry should I choose when sharing with others?
- If the file is not open yet, sharing from the cloud document list usually takes fewer steps.
- If you are already editing the file, the in-document Share button is more convenient.
- After choosing the entry, set the link permissions based on what recipients need.
