Frequently Asked Questions

Question 1: What if the inserted date does not update automatically?

  • Solution: Currently, the date control in collaboration mode only supports inserting dates and cannot achieve automatic updates.

Question 2: Why do date controls in local files disappear when opened online?

  • Solution: Some ActiveX controls require local editing support in the WPS client. You can revert to local editing mode or reinsert the "Date" control.

Question 3: Why is the time of the inserted date control not the current time?

  • Solution: The "Date" control identifies and displays the default insertion time based on the computer's local time. Please calibrate the computer's local time first.

Notes

  • Automatic date update is currently not supported
  • Dates need to be manually changed after insertion
