About This Feature

Overview

Table View Comments is a collaboration feature in WPS table view that helps teams discuss specific cells or records, leave feedback, and keep follow-up notes close to the data itself.

Core capabilities include:

Add comments to a cell or record.
Mention collaborators with @ to notify them in a comment.
View and delete comments from the record activity panel.

This feature fits data review, task follow-up, team feedback, and record clarification scenarios. After a comment is posted, the related record shows a comment count so you can spot active discussions more quickly.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports comments on cells or records in table view, lets you notify collaborators with @, and lets you view or delete comments in record activity.	Excel supports threaded comments in cells, including @mentions, replies, edits, deletes, and resolved threads.	Google Sheets supports comments in spreadsheets and lets users notify collaborators with a plus sign and email address, with optional task assignment.	Notion supports comments on database pages and database properties, with mentions, replies, resolve actions, and comment management in a comments pane.	Adobe Acrobat supports adding and managing comments in PDF review workflows, but not cell-level comments in a spreadsheet table view.
WPS Advantages	Distinct: WPS keeps discussion directly in the table-view context of a cell or record, with record activity available for ongoing review and cleanup.	Compared with WPS: Excel centers on cell-based threaded comments rather than record-level discussion in a table-view workflow.	Compared with WPS: Sheets supports comments and task assignment, but its workflow is centered on selected spreadsheet content rather than a record activity panel.	Compared with WPS: Notion comments are oriented toward database pages and properties instead of a traditional spreadsheet-style cell comment flow.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is designed for PDF review and annotation rather than comments on spreadsheet cells or records.

Overall Conclusion

If your team mainly discusses work inside table records, WPS keeps comments closer to the table-view workflow itself. WPS, Excel, and Google Sheets all cover common spreadsheet commenting needs, while Notion and Adobe Acrobat fit database-page discussion or PDF review scenarios more closely.

Use Cases

1	Data review feedback	Operations, finance, and analysts	It is hard to explain an issue exactly where the data appears	Add a comment directly on the target cell or record
2	Collaborator notification	Project members and reviewers	A specific teammate needs to check one record	Mention the person in a comment and send a notification
3	Discussion tracking	Team leads and record owners	Past discussion is easy to lose across channels	Open the Comments tab in record activity to review the thread
4	Comment cleanup	Table maintainers	Old comments can make records harder to read	Delete comments that are no longer needed
5	Record status visibility	All collaborators	It is not easy to see which records already have discussion	Use the comment count shown on the record as a quick signal
