FAQ
Why can’t I find the Version History entry?
- Confirm that the current file is a spreadsheet.
- Confirm that the file has been uploaded to cloud storage and is being used as a cloud document.
- Confirm that you are signed in to your WPS account and that the network connection is working normally.
- Open the top-right menu again and check whether Version History appears.
Can version records be kept for a long time?
- Name important versions so they are easier to identify later.
- If you need to keep a specific milestone separately for a long time, save that content as a separate file or keep the named version clearly identified.
- Review the version list regularly so important versions are easier to manage.
What should I do if version records take up too much space?
- Check which files have many saved versions.
- Clean up version records for large files that are no longer needed.
- Name important versions first, then delete extra records.
- If you need more cloud storage, choose a suitable subscription plan for your account.
Why is it recommended to preview a version before restoring it?
- Preview helps confirm whether the selected version is the one you actually need.
- This reduces the time spent fixing a rollback to the wrong version.
- After confirming the content, restore the version with more confidence.
