About This Feature

Overview

Version History is a cloud-based history feature for smart tables in WPS Office on iOS. It helps you view, name, preview, restore, and delete historical versions so you can recover usable content after accidental edits, unexpected app closure, or device issues.

Core capabilities include:

Open the version history list to review saved versions of the current table.
Name an important version for easier identification later.
Preview an earlier version before making changes.
Restore the current table to a selected version.
Delete versions that are no longer needed.

This feature is useful for team collaboration, milestone archiving, rollback after mistakes, and version cleanup on mobile devices.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On iOS smart tables, WPS lets you open Version History from the top-right menu and then view, name, preview, restore, and delete versions.	Microsoft 365 supports viewing and restoring earlier versions of files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint through Version History.	Google Docs Editors supports viewing version history, restoring earlier versions, copying earlier versions, and naming versions.	Notion supports page version history, version restore, and mobile access to page history, with retention depending on plan.	Adobe supports reverting cloud documents to earlier versions, but the scope is centered on Creative Cloud documents rather than collaborative smart tables.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS brings viewing, naming, previewing, restoring, and deleting versions together in one iOS smart table workflow.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on viewing and restoring previous versions, without presenting naming, preview, and deletion as one mobile smart table flow.	Compared with WPS: Google supports naming and restoring versions, but the official guidance is mainly presented for desktop document editing.	Compared with WPS: Notion supports page history and restore, but retention depends on plan and detailed version comparison is more limited on mobile.	Compared with WPS: Adobe can revert earlier versions, but the official scope is cloud documents rather than a smart table collaboration workflow.
Official Source	—	Restore a previous version of a file	Find what changed in a file	Delete and restore content	Revert to earlier versions of cloud documents

Overall Conclusion
WPS Version History is well suited to iOS smart table workflows where you need a direct mobile path for checking, labeling, previewing, and restoring versions. Other products also provide version recovery, but their official guidance is more centered on their own document ecosystems or plan-based page history models.
