When using Version History, the most common questions are about prerequisites, long-term retention, and storage management; this FAQ covers 3 frequent questions and practical suggestions.
FAQ
Why can't I see the Version History entry?
- Confirm that the current file has been saved to WPS Cloud Documents.
- Make sure you opened a cloud document instead of a file stored only on the device.
- Keep the network available, reopen the file, and then tap the top-right "≡" icon to check for Version History under Backup & Restore.
Can I keep historical versions for a long time?
- Rename any version that you want to identify for a longer period.
- If you need to keep it as a separate file, use Save As & Open.
- For important content, keep a clear version name or a separate copy so it is easier to find later.
What should I do if historical versions take up too much space?
- Open the Version History list and check whether there are older versions you no longer need.
- Prioritize cleanup in larger files if they contain many unnecessary versions.
- For key versions you still need, rename them or save them as separate files before continuing cleanup.
