About This Feature
Overview
WPS Office Insert Comment on Android is a Smart Spreadsheet feature for adding text notes, feedback, and follow-up context to a selected cell. After a comment is added, a red corner marker appears on the cell so you can quickly identify commented cells.
This feature includes two common tasks:
- Insert a comment from the floating edit bar or the Insert tab.
- Manage comments by tapping a commented cell to view, add, edit, or delete comments.
Comments support text input only. Images and attachments are not supported in comments. Each cell can contain multiple comments, and the comments are shown in time order in the comment panel.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports adding text comments to Smart Spreadsheet cells on Android, with a comment panel for viewing, adding, editing, and deleting comments. | The Word help hub provides entry points for collaboration, reviewing, and sharing, but this page does not directly describe an Android spreadsheet cell comment workflow. | Google supports adding, editing, replying to, and deleting comments in Docs, Sheets, and Slides on Android, including comments on selected cells. | Notion supports page comments, inline comments, replies, resolved comments, and a comments pane, with a stronger focus on page and block collaboration. | Adobe Acrobat supports comments and annotations for PDF review, which fits document markup rather than spreadsheet cell comments. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the workflow is focused on Android Smart Spreadsheet cell comments. Distinct: one cell can hold multiple comments shown in time order in the comment panel. | Compared with WPS: this official page is a general Word help hub and does not concentrate on Android cell comment details for spreadsheets. | Compared with WPS: Google offers broader collaboration options such as replies, action items, and emoji reactions, while WPS keeps the workflow centered on spreadsheet cell comments. | Compared with WPS: Notion is designed more for page-level and block-level discussion than spreadsheet cell commenting. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF commenting and review instead of Smart Spreadsheet cell comments. |

Overall Conclusion
