About This Feature

Overview

View Record Activity helps you review the edit history of a single record in a Smart Spreadsheet data table on Android. You can open the activity view from a record row or from a cell, then check who changed the record, when the change happened, and what content was changed.

Core tasks include:

View record activity from a record row to open the activity window for that record.
View record activity from a cell to switch directly to the Activity tab for the related record.

This feature is useful for collaborative tracking, issue review, and record-level history checks. It helps you confirm who changed a record and when, while keeping record activity separate from table-wide collaboration history.

Capability Summary	On Android, WPS lets you open record-level activity from a record row or a cell to review who changed a record, when it changed, and what changed. Each record shows up to 14 days of modification history.	Microsoft provides official activity APIs for list items, including recent activities with actor and activity time, for list or item activity tracking.	Google Sheets provides version history for files and edit history for specific cells, which helps track who changed content and when.	Notion provides page version history, including who changed a page and when, and supports restoring earlier versions, including on mobile.	Adobe Document Cloud provides document activity viewing in its web interface for document-level history tracking.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides a direct Android entry from either a record row or a cell to a single record's activity view. Distinct: Its workflow is centered on record-level review inside a data table.	Compared with WPS: the official capability is described more as list or item activity tracking rather than a direct record-level mobile table workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes file version history and cell edit history, rather than a dedicated record-level activity entry in a data table.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on page history instead of a dedicated single-record activity view in a spreadsheet-style table.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on document activity rather than record activity in a data table.

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to review recent changes for one record in a data table on Android, WPS offers a shorter path to that record-level history view. Other products also provide history or activity features, but they are more commonly organized around files, pages, lists, or documents.
