Capability Summary	WPS lets you add a Last Modified By system field in a multi-dimensional table so each record can display its most recent editor automatically.	Excel Show Changes lets users review who changed what, where, and when in a workbook, but it is not a fixed record field.	Google Sheets can show the last editor of a file and cell edit history, but it does not provide a fixed in-table field for each record.	Notion databases include a Last edited by property that automatically records the person who last edited an item.	Acrobat tracks shared PDF activity such as views, comments, and recent activity, but it does not provide a record-level table field for last modified by.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The editor information appears directly as a field in the table structure for each record. Distinct: The field is maintained automatically, which helps with filtering and ongoing record review.	Compared with WPS: Excel focuses more on workbook or cell change history than on a persistent record column.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports history review, but it is oriented more toward change lookup than structured record fields.	Compared with WPS: Notion offers a similar auto-updated property, but it is presented as a database property rather than a multi-dimensional table field in WPS.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented toward PDF collaboration tracking rather than structured table records.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Data Table Last Modified By is well suited to collaboration scenarios where teams want the latest editor to remain visible inside the table itself. Compared with history panels or adjacent tracking tools, the field-based approach is more direct for record-by-record review.
