| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS provides a direct Change User Name entry in the review workflow for comments and tracked changes. | Word lets users change Office user information so new comments can use the updated name, while existing comments usually keep their original author label. | Google Docs supports comments and collaboration on Android, but the displayed comment name is generally tied to the Google account profile rather than a separate in-document rename entry. | Notion supports comments and collaboration, and account settings let users change their preferred name; comment display is tied to account or integration identity. | Acrobat lets users change the author name on comments and set the changed author name as the default for later comments. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the entry is placed directly in the Android review flow; Distinct: it is convenient for quickly adjusting the display name before adding comments or revisions on mobile. | Compared with WPS: changing the displayed name is usually handled through app-level user information settings instead of a direct review entry inside the document flow. | Compared with WPS: comment identity is more closely tied to the Google account profile, so temporary per-document name switching is less direct. | Compared with WPS: the product focus is workspace collaboration and account identity management rather than an in-document rename entry for word-processing review. | Compared with WPS: author-name control is available, but it is centered on PDF commenting workflows. |

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly review documents on Android, WPS keeps the user-name change closer to the comment and revision workflow, so the setup is more direct on mobile. Other products also support comment identity or profile-based naming, but they often rely more on account settings or product-specific review models.
Use Cases

|---|

| 2 | Project-based identity switching | Project managers, external collaborators | One device is used across multiple projects and names can be mixed up | Switch the display name based on the current project |
| 3 | Fast mobile proofreading | Mobile office users | Review settings need to be completed quickly while away from a desk | Use Tools → Review → Change User Name to update it quickly |
| 4 | Teaching and feedback | Teachers, trainers | Learners may not quickly recognize who left the feedback | Use a fixed teaching name for comments |
| 5 | Handover review | Reviewers, receiving teammates | An old display name remains after work is handed over | Update the user name before continuing the review |
