About This Feature

Overview

Version History is a cloud-based history feature for smart spreadsheets in WPS Office on Android. It helps you review earlier edits, label important milestones, preview older content, restore a selected version, and remove versions you no longer need.

Core tasks include:

View version history: Open the version list for the current file.
Name a version: Add a recognizable label to an important version.
Preview a version: Check older content before making changes to the current file.
Restore a version: Return the file to a selected earlier state.
Delete a version: Remove older versions that are no longer needed.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On Android smart spreadsheets, Version History is available from the top-right menu and supports viewing, naming, previewing, restoring, and deleting versions.	Microsoft 365 files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint can open earlier versions in a separate window and restore a previous version.	Google Docs Editors can show version history, restore earlier versions, make a copy of an earlier version, and create named versions.	Notion pages can show version history, restore earlier versions, and access page history from the page menu, including on mobile.	Adobe supports reverting cloud documents to earlier versions, mainly for Creative Cloud cloud documents rather than spreadsheet collaboration files.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS brings viewing, naming, previewing, restoring, and deleting into one Android entry point for smart spreadsheets. Distinct: It is suited to mobile version cleanup and recovery in the same workflow.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft version history depends on OneDrive or SharePoint storage, and the entry path varies by app and storage location.	Compared with WPS: Google also supports named versions and copying earlier versions, but the official guidance is centered on desktop web steps.	Compared with WPS: Notion version history is page-focused, and retention windows vary by plan.	Compared with WPS: Adobe version restore is focused on cloud document design workflows rather than a matching smart spreadsheet editing flow.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Version History is well suited to Android smart spreadsheet workflows where you need to review and manage versions directly on a mobile device. If your team already works mainly in a specific cloud platform or page-based workspace, that platform’s built-in history tools may fit better for that environment.
