About This Feature

Overview

Collaboration History is a Smart Spreadsheet feature in WPS Office for iOS that lets you review collaborator actions in a file and restore the document to a selected historical point when needed.

Core capabilities include:

View collaboration history to check past actions in the current file.
Collapse or expand records to organize the history list by date or action.
Restore the document from a selected record to roll back to an earlier state.

This feature is useful for team editing, change review, and recovery after accidental edits. When you restore a historical record, the document returns to the state at that time point.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In Smart Spreadsheet on iOS, you can view collaboration history, collapse records, and restore the document from a selected record.	Word versioning works with documents stored in OneDrive or SharePoint and supports version management and coauthoring in an online storage workflow.	Google Docs supports version history, shows who changed a file and when, and lets users restore an earlier version.	Notion supports page updates, page history, and restoring past versions of a page, with additional export and trash recovery options.	Adobe Acrobat official help content in this comparison focuses on installing older versions and support policy rather than an equivalent collaboration-history workflow for live document editing.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The history entry and restore action are available directly inside Smart Spreadsheet on iOS, which is convenient for quick mobile rollback.	Compared with WPS: versioning depends on OneDrive or SharePoint storage, so the workflow is more tied to Microsoft's cloud environment.	Compared with WPS: version history is detailed and supports named versions, but the official instructions are mainly described for desktop or web steps.	Compared with WPS: the official guidance is centered on page history and workspace recovery rather than a spreadsheet-style collaboration record entry on iOS.	Compared with WPS: the official materials reviewed here do not describe a directly comparable mobile collaboration-history restore flow for document editing.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to review collaborator actions and restore a Smart Spreadsheet quickly on iOS, WPS provides a direct in-app path for that workflow. Other products also provide version or history features, but their storage model, product focus, and restore entry points differ.
