FAQ
Why can’t I find the Recent Changes entry?
- Make sure the file is open in WPS Spreadsheet, not in Writer or Presentation.
- Check whether the Collaboration tab is visible, or whether the file menu includes Recent Changes.
- If the entry still does not appear, update WPS Office and reopen the workbook.
Why should I select a cell or range before checking recent changes?
- Selecting the target cell or range first makes the review scope more focused.
- If nothing is selected in advance, the feature may show recent changes for the whole worksheet.
- This is especially helpful when you only want to verify a specific area.
Why can’t I see some older change records?
- Recent Changes is designed for reviewing edits from a recent period.
- When records are outside the available time range, they may no longer appear in the current list.
- It is a good idea to review and filter related records soon after you notice an issue.
How can I locate one specific edit more quickly?
- Open Recent Changes from the file menu.
- Open the Change Tracking filter panel.
- Narrow the result by worksheet, time, or operation type.
- Click the target record to jump directly to the related cell.
