Why can't I find the Recent Changes entry?

1. Confirm that the current file is a collaborative spreadsheet.
2. Check whether the spreadsheet is in collaboration mode.
3. Look for Recent Changes under both the Collaboration tab and the File menu.
4. If it still does not appear, update WPS Office and try again.

Is Recent Changes available only in collaboration mode?

1. Yes. This feature is used to review online edit records in collaborative spreadsheets.
2. If the current file is not in collaboration mode, the related change history may not be available.
3. For local-file history, use other file-history or version-management methods as needed.

Why can't I see older change records?

1. Recent Changes focuses on records within supported recent time ranges.
2. Change records are kept for a limited time, so older records may no longer be shown.
3. If you need a broader history view, combine this feature with collaboration records or version-management methods.

Why should I select a cell before viewing Cell Recent Changes?

1. Selecting the target cell helps define the review scope more accurately.
2. Without selecting the target cell first, the review may default to a broader worksheet or current-area scope.
3. For critical data checks, select the exact target cell or range before opening the feature.
