About This Feature
Overview
Undo and Redo is a built-in editing feature in WPS Office for iOS that lets you reverse your most recent action or restore content that was previously undone.
Core tasks include:
- Undo: Roll back the most recent edit after typing, deleting, or adjusting content.
- Redo: Restore an edit that was previously undone, in sequence.
This feature is useful for mobile text editing, quick correction after accidental deletion, and checking changes during continuous editing. You can use the buttons at the top of the editing page without a membership upgrade.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides Undo and Redo buttons at the top of the iOS editing page and supports repeated step-by-step rollback or restoration. | Microsoft Word supports undo, redo, and repeat actions. Microsoft states that Office saves the last 100 undoable actions by default, while some actions such as saving a file cannot be undone. | Google Docs lets users click Undo or Redo at the top of the document while editing. | Notion provides Undo/Redo in the top-right menu for taking back or reinstating the last page action. | Adobe Acrobat provides an undo entry, and in the new interface it may be available through the menu path for Undo, redo, and more. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The top-of-page buttons are direct for mobile editing and quick correction. Distinct: Undo and Redo are easy to reach during continuous document edits on iOS. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft offers a broader action model with repeat support and a documented undo limit, but its official guidance is centered on desktop and web workflows rather than a simple iOS top-button flow. | Compared with WPS: Google also supports top-area undo and redo, but its official guidance is focused on online document editing. | Compared with WPS: Notion supports undo and redo, but the common entry is in a menu, so the path is less direct for quick tap-based correction. | Compared with WPS: Adobe supports undo access, but the entry can be deeper in the interface depending on the Acrobat experience. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Undo and Redo fits mobile document editing scenarios where you need to correct a recent action quickly. For iOS-first editing, the top-button layout keeps rollback and restoration easy to access.
