About This Feature
Overview
WPS Art Reset Shape is a formatting recovery feature in WPS Presentation. It restores a WPS Art object to the default appearance it had when first inserted, removing later style changes such as color and visual formatting.
Key capabilities:
- Reset shape styling: Restore a modified WPS Art object to its default appearance after trying different styles.
- Keep shape content: Resetting restores formatting without removing the text inside the object.
- Support quick reversal: If needed, you can immediately use Ctrl+Z to undo the reset.
Common use cases include keeping slide visuals consistent, clearing temporary formatting changes, and returning presentation elements to their original look.
