About This Feature
Overview
User Information lets you change the username shown in comments and revision balloons. After you update it, the new name appears in later review and comment boxes, which helps identify editors more clearly during collaborative review.
This feature is useful for document collaboration, review feedback, team proofreading, and other editing workflows where a consistent display name makes review records easier to follow.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | An iPhone or iPad that can run WPS Office normally |
| App version | The latest version of WPS Office for iOS is recommended |
| Network | Changing the display name itself does not require a constant connection, but signing in, syncing, or sharing documents works better with network access |

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides a Change Username entry in the review workflow on iOS so you can set the name shown in comments and revision balloons directly. | Word lets users change the name used for future tracked changes and comments, but existing names are not rewritten in bulk. | Google Docs comments are generally tied to account identity and collaboration settings, with official help focused on commenting and collaboration workflows. | Notion lets users update their profile name and photo, and member identity appears in comments and people profiles. | Acrobat lets users adjust comment author identity through commenting preferences and comment properties for PDF review. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS places the username change entry directly in the mobile review path, which is convenient for quick updates before commenting or revising. | Compared with WPS: the official guidance focuses more on desktop settings, and existing comment names do not automatically switch to the new name. | Compared with WPS: identity is mainly account-based, and the official help does not describe a separate review entry equivalent to WPS Change Username. | Compared with WPS: the focus is workspace profile identity rather than a dedicated entry for document revision balloons. | Compared with WPS: the workflow is centered on PDF comment identity rather than document review comments in a word-processing review tab. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to quickly update the display name used in comments and revisions on iOS, WPS offers a more direct in-app review entry. Other products also support profile or comment identity management, but their workflows and document types differ.
