FAQ

Why can't I find the Version History entry?

  2. Confirm that the document has already been saved to WPS Cloud.
  3. Open the document and tap the top-right menu to check whether Version History appears.
  4. 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?

  1. Make sure you are already inside the version history list.
  2. Find the target version and tap the ... icon to check whether Restore to this version is available.
  3. If the app shows a membership prompt, subscribe first and then try again.
  4. Preview the version before restoring so you can confirm the content.

What is the difference between Save As and Restore for a historical version?

  1. Restore returns the current document to the selected historical state.
  2. Save As stores the older version as a separate new file and opens it.
  3. If you want to keep the current document and export an older draft separately, use Save As and Open.
  4. 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?
