About This Feature

Overview

Editor Info and Attribution is a collaboration feature in smart documents that helps you view contributor share, last edit time, and content attribution markers by editor. When attribution markers are turned on, the document shows editor-specific underlines so you can identify who edited different parts of the content.

Core tasks include:

View editor details: Check contributor share and last edit time in the editor list.
Turn on attribution markers: Show editor underlines in the document to distinguish content ownership.
Turn off attribution markers: Return to a cleaner reading view when markers are no longer needed.

This feature is useful for team review, multi-author content checks, and responsibility confirmation during document collaboration.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Lets you open the editor list below the document title to view contributor share, last edit time, and turn editor attribution markers on or off.	Word uses Track Changes to show revisions from different authors in different colors and lets you filter changes by Specific People.	Google Docs shows Last edit, version history, and Show editors for selected content.	Notion provides Updates, Page history, and Created by / Last updated by properties to review page activity and editor information.	Acrobat mainly supports shared PDF review and comment tracking, rather than live document attribution markers.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines contributor share, last edit time, and attribution marker switching in one workflow, which is convenient for quick multi-author review.	Compared with WPS: Word focuses more on revision review and reviewer filtering, without emphasizing contribution share in the same view.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs is stronger for selection-based editor lookup, and some editor-identification features depend on Google Workspace plans.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to page update tracking and database properties than inline document attribution markers.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is centered on PDF review workflows rather than direct attribution display in collaborative documents.

Overall Conclusion
WPS is a practical fit when you need to quickly check who contributed to a document and identify content ownership inside the document view. Compared with tools that focus more on revision review, version history, or PDF commenting, WPS offers a more direct attribution-checking workflow for collaborative writing.
