Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In screenshot editing mode, WPS lets you undo the previous action from the toolbar or with Ctrl+Z, and you can continue undoing step by step. | Windows Snipping Tool lets users annotate screenshots and then use Undo or Redo for those annotations. | Google Drive on Android supports Undo and Redo while annotating PDFs, and Google Docs supports Ctrl+Z for regular editing. | Notion supports Undo/Redo for page editing, but its official guidance focuses on page content editing rather than a dedicated screenshot editor. | Acrobat supports Undo and Redo through its Undo, Redo & More menu during PDF editing workflows. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS places screenshot undo directly in the editing toolbar and also supports Ctrl+Z for quick step-by-step rollback during screenshot markup. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft focuses on the Windows screenshot and annotation workflow rather than an in-app presentation screenshot editor. | Compared with WPS: Google's official guidance centers on PDF annotation or document editing, so screenshot editing is less direct in this context. | Compared with WPS: Notion is designed around page and block editing, with no dedicated screenshot editing workflow described in the official help page. | Compared with WPS: Adobe centers undo actions around PDF editing and commenting workflows instead of a lightweight screenshot editing flow. |
| Official Source | — | Use Snipping Tool to capture screenshots | Annotate PDFs with a stylus or freehand on Android | Intro to writing & editing | Edit text in PDFs |
Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to roll back screenshot edits quickly, WPS provides a direct entry point and a familiar Ctrl+Z workflow inside screenshot editing. Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe also provide undo-related actions, but their official guidance is more focused on system screenshots, document editing, or PDF workflows.
