About This Feature
Overview
Create, edit, and delete comments in WPS on Android is a review feature in WPS Sheets that lets you add notes to a cell, update existing comment text, or remove comments that are no longer needed.
Core tasks include:
- Create a comment: Add a text note to the selected cell for review, collaboration, or context.
- Edit a comment: Update existing comment content so the note stays aligned with the sheet data.
- Delete a comment: Remove comments that are no longer needed to keep the sheet cleaner.
This feature is useful for collaborative review, data explanation, and spreadsheet feedback.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Sheets on Android, you can go to Tools > Review > Comment to create, edit, and delete comments directly on cells. | Microsoft Word supports inserting, replying to, and deleting comments from the Review tab, but the cited page focuses on document comments rather than spreadsheet cells. | Google Docs Editors on Android supports adding, editing, replying to, and deleting comments across documents, spreadsheets, and presentations, and also supports action items. | Notion supports page comments, inline comments, replies, resolving, editing, and deleting comments, with a stronger focus on page and block collaboration. | Adobe Acrobat supports adding and managing comments in PDF review workflows, which is suited to document markup rather than spreadsheet cells. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS lets you manage comments directly around spreadsheet cells on Android, which fits mobile spreadsheet review and quick in-cell annotation. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft offers mature comment tools, but the cited official page describes document comment workflows instead of cell-based spreadsheet comments. | Compared with WPS: Google offers broader Android comment collaboration and task assignment, but adding comments to Microsoft Office files may require converting the file to a Google file first. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with page and block discussion, not spreadsheet cell comment management. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is better aligned with PDF review and markup, not spreadsheet cell comments. |
| Official Source | — | Insert, delete, or change a comment | Use comments, action items, and emoji reactions | Comments, mentions and reactions | Add and manage comments |
Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to add, update, or remove notes directly on spreadsheet cells on Android, WPS is more closely aligned with that mobile Sheets workflow. The other products also support comments, but they are more focused on document collaboration, page discussion, or PDF review.
