About This Feature

Overview

Version History is a version management feature in WPS Office for Android Smart Spreadsheet files. It helps you review cloud-saved version records and quickly preview, name, restore, or remove older versions when needed.

Core tasks include:

View version history: Open the list of saved versions for the current file.
Name a version: Add a clear label to an important milestone version.
Preview a version: Check older content before taking further action.
Restore a version: Return the file to a selected earlier state.
Delete a version: Remove versions you no longer need from the list.

This feature is useful for rollback after accidental edits, milestone archiving, review before recovery, and version cleanup on mobile.

Capability Summary	On Android, WPS lets you open Version History from the Smart Spreadsheet menu and supports viewing, naming, previewing, restoring, and deleting saved versions. The file must first be uploaded to cloud storage as a cloud document.	Microsoft 365 lets users view earlier file versions and restore a selected version, but version history works for files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint in Microsoft 365.	Google Docs states that users can reference previous versions of a document at any time and reinstate them, with a strong focus on online collaboration.	Notion provides page history review and version restore for page content management and update tracking.	Adobe's official page here focuses on Acrobat product release notes and application update history rather than built-in document version history actions.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: one mobile entry covers viewing, naming, previewing, restoring, and deleting version records for Smart Spreadsheet files. Distinct: it is oriented to direct version management on Android.	Compared with WPS: official guidance highlights viewing and restoring previous cloud-stored file versions, with less emphasis on in-place mobile version management steps in this source.	Compared with WPS: supports version review and restore, while the official page emphasizes collaborative online document workflows.	Compared with WPS: supports page history restore, but the available history range depends on plan terms in official guidance.	Compared with WPS: the cited official page is about app release updates, not document-level version operations.

Overall Conclusion: If you want to manage Smart Spreadsheet version records directly on Android, WPS provides a more complete single-entry workflow for this task. Microsoft, Google, and Notion all provide official version review or restore capabilities, but their published guidance focuses more on cloud collaboration or page management, while the cited Adobe page is centered on product release updates.
