Common questions about WPS Version History Backup on Android usually focus on access requirements, membership permissions, and the difference between restore and Save As; this FAQ covers 4 frequent questions and practical answers.
FAQ
Why can't I find the Version History entry?
- Make sure you are using WPS Office on Android and are signed in.
- Confirm that the document has already been saved to WPS Cloud.
- Open the document and tap the top-right menu to check whether Version History appears.
- If it still does not appear, save the local file to WPS Cloud first and then reopen it.
Why can't I use Restore for a historical version?
- Make sure you are already inside the version history list.
- Find the target version and tap the ... icon to check whether Restore to this version is available.
- If the app shows a membership prompt, subscribe first and then try again.
- Preview the version before restoring so you can confirm the content.
What is the difference between Save As and Restore for a historical version?
- Restore returns the current document to the selected historical state.
- Save As stores the older version as a separate new file and opens it.
- If you want to keep the current document and export an older draft separately, use Save As and Open.
- If you want to roll back the current document itself, use Restore to this version.
Can I still view other versions after deleting one version?
- Yes. Deleting one historical version does not remove the others in the list.
- After opening version history, you can still view, name, or preview the remaining versions.
- Make sure the selected version is no longer needed before deleting it.
