Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is the difference between cloud documents and local documents?
- Solution:
- Cloud documents support automatic content saving, multi-device access, multi-person collaborative editing, and historical version rollback;
- Local documents are stored only on the current device, suitable for offline use or scenarios with higher privacy requirements.
Q2: What should I do if the file fails to save?
- Solution:
- Check the error popup window to see the specific failure reason, and ensure there is sufficient space in the save path;
- Keep document cloud sync turned on to achieve real-time cloud backup and facilitate version rollback.
Q3: Can a newly created document be output in other formats?
- Solution: Yes. Click "File" menu → "Export As", select the target format (PDF, PPTX, etc.) to complete the conversion.
Notes
- When exporting to the older .doc format, some new features (such as SmartArt) may not be preserved. It is recommended to prioritize using the .docx format.
- When sharing exported PDF files, if they contain sensitive information, you can set an open password for protection.
