Capability Summary	On Android Smart Spreadsheet, WPS lets you view collaborator action records, collapse records, and restore the file to a selected record.	Microsoft 365 lets users view version history and restore earlier versions, but Microsoft states that version history works for files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint in Microsoft 365.	Google Docs and Sheets let users review version history, see who changed a file, and restore an earlier version, with the official guidance centered on computer workflows.	Notion lets users review page updates and page history, then restore an earlier page version, with the feature focused on page-based collaboration.	Adobe Creative Cloud lets users revert cloud documents to earlier versions, with the feature focused on cloud documents rather than spreadsheet collaboration history.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS places collaboration history viewing, collapsing, and restore actions directly inside Smart Spreadsheet on Android for quick mobile review and rollback.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft provides version history and restore, but the official workflow depends on OneDrive or SharePoint storage.	Compared with WPS: Google provides version history and restore, but the official instructions are mainly for desktop browser use.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on page updates and page history instead of spreadsheet collaboration records.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on cloud document version reversion rather than spreadsheet collaboration tracking.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to review collaborator actions and restore a spreadsheet from a selected record on Android, WPS provides a workflow that is closely aligned with mobile spreadsheet collaboration.
