About This Feature
Overview
Version History is a built-in version management feature for WPS Office AirPage on iOS. It helps you review document edit history, restore an earlier version, and organize important versions for long-term reference.
Core tasks include:
- View version history: Open the version list from the document editing screen and review saved versions by modified time.
- Manage version history: Preview, rename, restore, save as, or delete a selected version.
This feature is useful for checking changes after collaboration, rolling back accidental edits, and keeping milestone versions organized. It also supports common search intent such as how to restore previous version on iPhone when you need to recover document changes on the go.

| OS | An iPhone or iPad that can run iOS or iPadOS normally |

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS lets you open a version list directly inside the document and use preview, rename, restore, save as, and delete actions for a selected version. | Microsoft 365 lets users restore earlier versions of files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint, with version history tied more closely to cloud storage. | Google Docs for iPhone and iPad states that version history must be opened on a computer. | Notion supports Page history from the page menu and lets users restore older versions, with retention depending on the plan. | Adobe supports reverting Creative Cloud cloud documents to earlier versions, but the scope is centered on Creative Cloud documents rather than general office documents. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The version entry is available directly inside the iOS document workflow. Distinct: Preview, rename, restore, save as, and delete are grouped in one panel. | Compared with WPS: restore workflows depend more on OneDrive or SharePoint storage. | Compared with WPS: iPhone and iPad access to version history is more limited because users are directed to a computer. | Compared with WPS: version retention is tied more explicitly to subscription plans. | Compared with WPS: the feature focus is on Adobe cloud documents, so the match for office document version workflows is weaker. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Version History is well suited to direct version work on iPhone and iPad because the entry point and follow-up actions stay inside the document flow. For users who want to review changes, restore an earlier draft, or save an older copy without leaving the mobile editing experience, WPS offers a shorter path.
Use Cases
| # | Scenario | Target Users | Core Pain Point | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Review edits after collaboration | Team members, editors | It is hard to identify change points after multiple edits | Open the version list and review versions by modified time |
| 2 | Roll back accidental changes | Everyday office users | Current content was overwritten and needs to be restored | Select Restore this version from version history |
| 3 | Keep milestone versions organized | Project owners, students | Important stages are hard to identify later | Rename key versions for easier recognition |
| 4 | Save an older copy for records | Reviewers, file managers | An older copy is needed without affecting the current document | Use Save as to create a new file from a historical version |
| 5 | Remove unneeded versions | Users maintaining long-term documents | Too many versions make the list harder to review | Delete versions that are no longer needed |
