About This Feature
Overview
Undo and Redo is a built-in editing feature in WPS Office for Mac Docs collaboration mode. It helps you reverse your most recent action or restore an action that was just undone, so you can correct mistakes and continue editing more smoothly.
Core tasks include:
- Undo the latest action: step back through recent edits when you typed something by mistake, deleted content accidentally, or want to reverse a formatting change.
- Redo an undone action: restore content or actions after Undo when you need to bring back something you just reversed.
This feature is useful for collaborative document editing, everyday writing, and quick corrections. It helps solve two common problems: reversing unintended edits and restoring content after undoing too many steps. In WPS, both toolbar buttons and keyboard shortcuts are available in collaboration mode.

| Capability Summary | In WPS Docs collaboration mode on macOS, you can use the Undo and Redo buttons on the Home tab to reverse or restore actions, and you can also use Command + Z and Command + Y. | Microsoft Word supports undo, redo, and repeat actions. On macOS, users can undo multiple steps, and Redo appears after an undo action. | Google Docs lets users click Undo or Redo at the top of the document and also supports Mac shortcuts such as ⌘Z and ⌘Shift+Z. | Notion provides Undo/Redo during page editing so users can take back the last action or reinstate it. | Adobe Acrobat on macOS provides Undo and Redo through Edit > Undo, Redo and More, mainly for PDF editing workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS places Undo and Redo directly on the Home tab in Docs collaboration mode and also supports keyboard shortcuts for quick step-by-step correction. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft also supports Repeat, but its common entry points are described around the Quick Access Toolbar or ribbon rather than a Docs collaboration interface. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs supports top-bar buttons and collaboration, but its common Mac redo shortcut is ⌘Shift+Z rather than Command + Y in WPS. | Compared with WPS: Notion supports page-level Undo/Redo, but its official guidance is centered on general page editing instead of a word-processing collaboration interface. | Compared with WPS: Adobe supports Undo and Redo, but the entry is described in the Edit menu flow and is focused on PDF editing rather than collaborative writing. |
