About This Feature
Overview
Record Dynamics is a record-tracking feature in WPS Office for iOS multi-dimensional tables. It lets you review the recent edit history of a single record so your team can see who changed the record, when the change happened, and what was changed.
Key capabilities include:
- Open the activity view for one record from its detail page.
- Review change history from the last 14 days in time order.
- Check the editor, edit time, and specific modified content.
This feature is useful for team collaboration tables, project trackers, customer information tables, and task records where change visibility matters.

| Capability Summary | On iOS, you can open a record detail page in a multi-dimensional table and review all changes from the last 14 days, including who changed the record, when it changed, and what content changed. | Microsoft Lists can show item version history with who changed the item, when it changed, and what changed, but it depends on list versioning settings. | Google Sheets supports file version history and cell edit history, but the experience is centered more on spreadsheet files or cells than on a dedicated record detail page. | Notion supports page version history with who changed what and when, and the retention period depends on the workspace plan. | Adobe Acrobat mainly tracks shared PDF review activity and comments, rather than native record-level history for structured table data. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS shows recent record changes directly inside the record detail page, which is convenient for quick review on iOS. | Compared with WPS: version history is available, but access and detail depend more on list configuration. | Compared with WPS: history is stronger at the file or cell level than at a dedicated record-detail level. | Compared with WPS: page history is available, but database-style record tracing and retention depend more on workspace plan rules. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on PDF review workflows instead of record-level change tracking in a table. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Record Dynamics is more focused on recent change tracing for a single table record on iOS. If your work is centered on list versioning, file version history, or PDF review workflows, the other products provide related history features, but their focus is different from record-based collaboration tracking.
