About This Feature

Overview

Table View Comments helps teams discuss specific cells or records inside a table view. You can add comments to a record, use @ mentions to notify collaborators, and open record activity to review, continue, or delete comment threads.

This feature fits workflows that require discussion around individual data entries, such as task follow-up, data review, content approval, and cross-team feedback. After a comment is posted, a comment count appears next to the record marker so you can quickly identify records that still need attention.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports adding comments to cells or records in table view, @ mentions for collaborators, and viewing, continuing, or deleting comments from record activity.	Excel for Microsoft 365 for Mac supports threaded comments in cells, with replies plus resolve and reopen actions.	Google Sheets supports cell comments, replies, @ mentions, and resolved or reopened comment threads.	Notion supports comments on database pages or database properties, plus @ mentions and comment management in a comments pane.	Adobe Acrobat supports comments, replies, and review tracking for PDFs, but it is focused on PDF review rather than spreadsheet-native cell comments.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Comment entry is tied directly to the table-view record context. Distinct: Record activity and comment viewing are connected for ongoing follow-up on a single data item.	Compared with WPS: Excel offers mature threaded comments for worksheet cells, but the official page focuses on workbook cell discussions rather than record-level activity views.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports collaborative comments and assignments, but the workflow is centered on general cell comments.	Compared with WPS: Notion works well for page and database-page discussion, but it is not a traditional spreadsheet cell comment experience.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is better aligned with document review and does not provide a native record-row discussion flow for spreadsheet data.

Overall Conclusion: If your team needs to discuss individual records inside a multidimensional table, WPS provides a workflow that stays close to the data itself. Other products also support comments, but their comment models are oriented toward worksheet cells, database pages, or PDF review rather than record-focused table collaboration.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable for	Main challenge	How it helps
1	Data review	Operations, finance, project members	Teams need to point out issues on a single record and keep the discussion history	Add comments to a cell or record and use the comment count to locate discussed items quickly
2	Collaborator notification	Team leads, reviewers	A specific person needs to be notified when an issue is found	Use @ mentions in a comment and send a notification to the selected member
3	Record follow-up	Project teams	Earlier feedback on one record needs to be reviewed again	Open View Record Activity and switch to the Comments tab
4	Content revision	Editors, planners, reviewers	Revision notes are scattered and hard to track around one data item	Keep revision feedback inside the record comment thread and continue the discussion there
5	Comment cleanup	Table maintainers	Old discussions remain visible after work is complete	Delete comments that are no longer needed so the comment count disappears
