| Capability Summary | In WPS Presentation, you can undo and redo from the Quick Access Toolbar, and you can set undo/redo history steps in File > Options > Edit with a default of 30 and a maximum of 150. | Microsoft Office supports Undo from the Quick Access Toolbar or Ctrl+Z, and its support page states that Office saves the last 100 undoable actions by default. | Google Docs provides undo and redo shortcuts for document editing, which supports basic action reversal in a browser-based workflow. | Notion provides keyboard shortcuts for undo and redo in page editing workflows. | The Adobe Acrobat product page highlights PDF editing and page organization, but this page does not provide a detailed undo and redo workflow for this comparison. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines undo, redo, and editable history-step settings in one workflow. Distinct: it provides an in-app path to adjust undo/redo steps. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft clearly documents a default history depth of 100 undoable actions, but the referenced page does not show the same in-app settings path used here. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses on shortcut-based editing guidance in the referenced page and does not show an undo-step settings path in this comparison. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on shortcut-based page editing and does not show a presentation-style history-step setting in the referenced page. | Compared with WPS: Adobe emphasizes PDF work and document tools on the referenced page, so the feature match is less direct for presentation editing. |

Overall Conclusion: For slide editing on Windows, WPS provides a direct undo and redo workflow together with a visible settings path for history depth. Other products also support action reversal, but their referenced official pages focus on different editing environments or provide less direct control information for this specific workflow.
