About This Feature
Overview
Version History is a version management feature for presentations in WPS Office on iOS. It lets you review a document’s edit history and name, preview, restore, or delete a selected historical version when needed. This is useful for collaboration, rolling back unintended edits, keeping milestone copies, and checking earlier content.
Core tasks include:
- View version history: Open the version list inside the document and review saved versions in one place.
- Name a historical version: Add a label to an important version for easier identification later.
- Preview a historical version: Check older content before deciding what to do next.
- Restore a historical version: Return the current file to a selected earlier state.
- Delete a historical version: Remove version records you no longer need.
To use this feature, the file must be uploaded to cloud storage and saved as a cloud document so the Version History entry and version records are available.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In iOS presentations, WPS provides a Version History list where you can view, name, preview, restore, and delete historical versions. The file must be saved as a cloud document first. | Microsoft 365 lets users view previous versions of Office files, open an earlier version in a separate window, and restore it. Version history depends on files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint. | Google Docs Editors lets users view version history, restore an earlier version, copy an earlier version, and create named versions. | Notion lets users open page history, review earlier versions, and restore a page. The available history period depends on the plan. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on comparing two versions of a PDF file, reviewing differences, and saving comparison results. It is more about file comparison than an in-document version history list. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines viewing, naming, previewing, restoring, and deleting in one version history entry, which is convenient for managing presentation cloud documents directly on iOS. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes viewing and restoring cloud-stored Office file versions, but the official page does not present a dedicated naming flow for individual historical versions in the same way. | Compared with WPS: Google supports named versions and copying earlier versions, but its official instructions here focus on desktop computer workflows. | Compared with WPS: Notion page history can be restored, but the available history window varies by plan, and the Free plan keeps a shorter history period. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is stronger for comparing differences between two PDF versions, rather than managing the history of one presentation file through a single version list. |
| Official Source | — | View previous versions of Office files | Find what's changed in a file | Delete & restore content | Compare two versions of a PDF file |
Overall Conclusion
If you want to manage the history of a presentation cloud document directly on mobile, WPS keeps the entry point and actions in one place for faster review and rollback. Microsoft and Google focus more on cloud collaboration file history, Notion focuses on page history, and Adobe is more suitable for comparing two PDF versions.
