About This Feature
Overview
Table View Comments is a collaboration feature in WPS Office for Android that lets teams discuss a specific record directly inside a table view.
Core tasks include:
- Add comments: Enter and send text comments in a record's comment area so the discussion stays attached to that record.
- Manage comments: View the total number of comments, browse comments in reverse chronological order, and delete comments that are no longer needed.
This feature fits task follow-up, data review, and team collaboration. It helps keep discussion tied to the related record instead of moving context into separate chat tools. In WPS, the comment entry is available from the record's floating menu bar, and records with comments can be identified from the icon beside the row number.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports adding comments and replies for a record in table view, with centralized viewing and management in the comment area. | Excel uses threaded comments for cell-based discussions and supports replies, deletion, and resolved status. | Google Sheets supports adding, replying to, filtering, deleting, and resolving comments on cells. | Notion supports comments on database pages and properties, which works for database collaboration but not spreadsheet-style cell comments. | Adobe Acrobat supports viewing, adding, and replying to comments in PDFs for document review rather than table-record collaboration. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Comments are attached directly to records in table view, which fits ongoing collaboration around data rows; records with comments can also be identified quickly from the icon beside the row number. | Compared with WPS: Excel centers comment threads on worksheet cells, which is more suitable for cell-level spreadsheet discussion. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets provides comment filtering and resolved-state management, with a stronger focus on online spreadsheet collaboration. | Compared with WPS: Notion works well for database-page discussion, but it does not provide the same in-place record-row commenting experience in a spreadsheet-style table. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on PDF markup and review instead of multi-dimensional table record collaboration. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Table View Comments is a practical fit for teams that need to discuss individual records inside a table. If your work centers on row-based collaboration in a multi-dimensional table, WPS offers a more direct record-linked workflow; if your main scenario is cell comments, online spreadsheet review, or PDF markup, the other tools may better match those models.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable For | Main Pain Point | How WPS Helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Task follow-up by record | Project members | Progress notes are scattered | Keep updates and replies in the record comment area |
| 2 | Data exception review | Operations and analysts | A specific row needs explanation | Add a comment directly to the related record |
| 3 | Team collaboration history | Collaborative teams | Discussion is hard to trace later | Keep record-related discussion in one place |
| 4 | Review feedback collection | Reviewers | Feedback is hard to match with the right data item | Leave review notes under the target record |
| 5 | Mobile communication in context | Mobile workers | Switching between apps slows down communication | Comment directly inside table view on Android |
