About This Feature
Overview
Collaboration Comments are WPS Office review tools for document collaboration on Windows. They let you leave feedback, add context, and track follow-up work without changing the main body text.
Core capabilities include:
- Add comments to selected text or objects.
- Reply within an existing comment thread.
- Edit a posted comment.
- Resolve a comment after the issue is handled, and reopen it when needed.
- Delete comments that are no longer needed.
- Show or hide the comment box on the right side.
- Open the comment panel to review all comments in one place.
Comments support Shift + Enter for line breaks and @mentions for notifying document collaborators or contacts. Comments also show the commenter name and time, and they do not affect document layout or body content.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports inserting, replying to, editing, deleting, and resolving comments, with @mentions plus both a comment box and a comment panel for review. | Word supports adding, replying to, viewing, deleting, and resolving comments, and also supports @mentions for task assignment. | Google Docs supports adding, replying to, deleting, filtering, and resolving comments, and also supports action items with @mentions. | Notion supports page comments, block comments, @mentions, and options to edit, delete, or resolve comments. | Acrobat supports the Comment tool for annotations such as text boxes, sticky notes, highlights, and shared review comments. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides several comment entry points in the document workflow, including the Review tab, right-click menu, shortcut key, and side icon. It also includes a comment panel for viewing resolved, unresolved, and related comments in one place. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft highlights comments, task assignment, the Comments pane, and resolved threads, but this official page does not present the same combined set of entry points described for WPS. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs covers replies, resolving, and filtering, with a stronger browser-based collaboration flow and less emphasis on a Windows desktop review-tab workflow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is well suited to page and block discussion, but it is not centered on a traditional word-processing review interface. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is focused on PDF annotation and shared review rather than a word-processing review tab workflow. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Collaboration Comments fit Windows document review workflows where you want to add feedback, reply, and close comment threads directly inside the editing interface. Other products also support comment-based collaboration, but they focus on different document types and review environments.
Use Cases
| # | Scenario | Target Users | Core Pain Point | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Document review feedback | Editors and reviewers | They need to point out issues in specific passages without changing the body text | Select text and insert a comment with revision notes |
| 2 | Team collaboration discussion | Project members and collaborators | Feedback gets scattered across chat tools and is hard to track | Reply in comment threads and use @mentions to notify the right person |
| 3 | Issue closure tracking | Owners and approvers | Completed items need a visible status | Mark comments as resolved and reopen them when needed |
| 4 | Centralized discussion review | Collaborators working on long documents | It is hard to locate many comments one by one | Open the comment panel to review, filter, and manage comments |
| 5 | Layout-safe review | Document authors | They need feedback without changing formatting | Use comments instead of editing the body text directly |
