About This Feature
Overview
Undo/Redo in WPS on Android is a built-in editing feature for collaborative writing. It helps you undo a recent change or restore an action that was just undone. To use undo redo controls, first enter editing mode, then use the buttons in the top toolbar.
Core tasks include:
- Undo a recent edit: Tap the left-curved arrow in the top toolbar to step back through recent edits.
- Redo an undone edit: Tap the right-curved arrow in the top toolbar to restore an action that was just undone.
This feature is useful for collaborative writing, proofreading, and quick correction on mobile. After the document is closed, the local history for the current editing session is cleared.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In collaborative writing on Android, WPS provides Undo and Redo buttons in the top toolbar for stepping backward or forward through edits in the current session. | Microsoft Word supports undo, redo, and repeat actions. It allows repeated undo, but some actions cannot be undone, and Office documents a default limit of 100 undoable actions. | Google Docs lets users click Undo or Redo at the top, and its Android shortcuts include Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Shift+Z. | Notion provides Undo/Redo in the ••• menu at the top right of the page for reversing or reinstating the last action. | Adobe Acrobat provides undo and redo, but in some newer interfaces the commands are placed under Menu → Undo, Redo & More instead of staying on the main top bar. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: both controls stay together in the top toolbar after you enter editing mode. Distinct: this layout is direct for quick mobile correction during the current editing session. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft also offers repeat actions and broader desktop-style controls, but some actions cannot be undone and the entry location can vary by interface. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs also offers top controls and keyboard shortcuts; for touch-first Android editing, WPS keeps both buttons in one direct toolbar location. | Compared with WPS: Notion places Undo/Redo inside the page menu, so it can take more taps during repeated corrections. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF workflows, and in some interfaces Undo/Redo is not kept on the main top toolbar. |

Overall Conclusion
