About This Feature

Overview

Comments in WPS for iOS are a collaboration feature for smart spreadsheet data tables. They let your team discuss a specific record directly in context. You can open the comment panel from a record row marker, type and post a comment, view the total number of comments, browse earlier comments, and delete an existing comment. Because comments stay attached to the related record, follow-up work is easier to track on mobile.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Comments are tied to individual records in a data table. You can open the comment panel from a record row marker, post comments, view the total count, browse comment history, and delete comments.	Excel supports threaded comments in cells, including adding, replying, editing, deleting, and resolving comment threads.	Google Sheets supports comments on cells, including adding, editing, replying, filtering, deleting, resolving, and reopening comments.	Notion supports comments on pages, blocks, and database pages, with reply, resolve, reopen, and filter actions, but the comment target is mainly page or block content rather than spreadsheet record rows.	Adobe Acrobat supports comments for PDF review workflows, focusing on document markup and review instead of data-table record collaboration.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The comment entry is directly tied to a data-table record row, which fits record-based collaboration on mobile. Distinct: The discussion stays visually connected to the related record.	Compared with WPS: Excel comments are centered on worksheet cells, which is better suited to cell-level discussion.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets comments are centered on cells or ranges and also include filtering tools.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more focused on page and block collaboration than a native spreadsheet record-row comment flow.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat comments are designed for PDF review rather than structured record collaboration in a table.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Comments are a practical fit for record-based collaboration in smart spreadsheet data tables, especially on mobile. Other products also provide comment systems, but they are usually centered on cells, pages, blocks, or PDF review rather than a single table record.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable For	Main Challenge	How It Helps
1	Following up on customer records	Sales and support teams	Discussion is scattered across external chat tools	Add comments directly under the related customer record to keep the context together
2	Reviewing abnormal data	Operations and analysts	It is hard to tie explanations to a specific record	Leave comments under the abnormal record with the reason and next step
3	Handing off progress	Team collaborators	The next owner cannot quickly understand earlier discussion	Review the comment count and history in one place
4	Sending quick mobile feedback	Field staff and managers	It is inconvenient to switch between multiple tools on a phone	Open the comment panel from the record row marker and respond immediately
5	Cleaning up outdated messages	Table maintainers	Old comments reduce readability	Delete comments that are no longer needed from the comment panel
