About This Feature
Overview
WPS Revision helps record insertions, deletions, and formatting changes during document editing, making it easier to review document changes in collaborative writing on iOS. This WPS Office feature supports a clear track changes workflow for mobile document review.
Core tasks include:
- Turn on Revision: Enable the revision switch before editing so later changes are recorded as revisions.
- Show Revisions: Turn on the display option to view revision content in the document.
- Turn off Revision: Disable the revision switch when the review stage is complete so later edits are no longer recorded as revisions.
This feature is useful for team drafting, review rounds, and version checking. Revision marks are saved with the document so you can continue reviewing on another device.
