About This Feature
Overview
Finalize Document is a presentation status management feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you mark a presentation as final after the content is confirmed, then review details, invite others to confirm the final version, or remove the final status when needed.
Core tasks include:
- Mark a document as final: Set the current presentation as a final version for archiving, publishing, or team confirmation.
- Manage finalization settings: View finalization details, invite others to confirm the final version, remove the final status, and control whether anyone can finalize the document.
This feature is useful for pre-release review of presentation materials, team sign-off after collaborative editing, and version-state management when you need to clearly distinguish a final presentation from a draft.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | An iPhone or iPad that can run WPS Office normally |

| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you mark a presentation as final. After finalization, you can view details, invite others to confirm the final version, remove the final status, and control whether anyone can finalize it. | Microsoft Office provides Mark as Final to make Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files read-only and indicate that the file is complete to discourage unintended edits. | Google Workspace does not provide a same-name finalization button. Its official guidance is to rename a file as Final or Archived and change sharing permissions to view-only when sharing a final version. | Notion lets you use Lock page to make a page read-only and reduce accidental edits, but it is more of a page-locking workflow than a document finalization flow. | Adobe Acrobat focuses more on requesting e-signatures, routing documents for signing, and tracking agreement progress, which fits signature-based confirmation workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Distinct: WPS provides a direct finalization entry inside an iOS presentation and combines final confirmation invitations, final-status removal, and participant-scope settings in one workflow. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft mainly focuses on marking a file as final and making it read-only to discourage accidental changes. | Compared with WPS: Google mainly relies on file naming and permission settings to share a final version, so the workflow is split across naming and sharing controls. | Compared with WPS: Notion can lock a page quickly, but it is designed for general page protection rather than invitation-based final confirmation. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is more suitable for formal signing and returned agreements; for presentation version confirmation, the workflow is usually more signature-oriented. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to confirm a presentation version directly on iOS and continue managing who participates in the finalization process, WPS offers a more centralized workflow. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe also provide related ways to handle final versions, but they are oriented more toward read-only marking, permission control, page locking, or e-signature workflows.
