About This Feature
Overview
Adding and deleting comments is a review feature in WPS Office for iOS documents. It lets you add, view, edit, reply to, and delete comments without changing the main body text, which is useful for collaborative review, proofreading, and feedback.
Core tasks include:
- Add a comment after selecting text and send it to the related location in the document.
- View comments after turning on comment and revision display.
- Edit, delete, and reply to existing comments from the comment menu.
- Review comments quickly through the View All Comments and Revisions panel.
This feature is useful for document review, proofreading, team collaboration, and quick feedback on mobile devices. It helps keep review notes separate from the main text and makes it easier to process multiple comments in one document.
