FAQ
Q1: Why is the message panel empty?
- Solution: An empty state indicates there are currently no messages. When someone @mentions you, comments on your document, or requests access, notifications will automatically appear in the message panel.
Q2: What should I do if the message panel won't open?
- Solution: Ensure your network connection is normal and confirm that you are signed in to your WPS account. If it still cannot be opened, try restarting the WPS Office client.
