FAQ

Q1: Will adding a shortcut copy the original document?

• Solution: No. Adding a shortcut only generates a shortcut link pointing to the original document, does not occupy additional storage space, and the original document remains in its original location.

Q2: What is the difference between a shortcut and the original document?

• Solution: A shortcut is a link pointing to the original document; double-clicking it opens the content of the original document. Deleting the shortcut will not affect the original document, but the shortcut will become invalid after the original document is deleted.

Q3: How to manage shortcuts?

• Solution: Delete the shortcut that has been downloaded to the local device, or delete the shortcut in the 「Generate Local Shortcut」 interface.

Notes

• Adding a shortcut will not move or copy the original file; it only generates a link pointing to that file
• Deleting a shortcut will not affect the original document
• If the original document is deleted or moved, the shortcut will not open properly
