About This Feature

Overview

Version History is a built-in history tracking feature for multidimensional tables in WPS Office on macOS. It helps you review earlier file states and manage a selected version with actions such as preview, rename, restore, save as, or delete.

Core capabilities include:

View the version list in reverse chronological order with time, editor, and version notes.
Manage a selected version with preview, rename, restore this version, save as, and delete actions.

This feature is useful when you need to recover from accidental edits, review collaboration changes, or keep important milestones easy to find.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In a multidimensional table, you can open the version list from File Actions, review version time, editor, and notes, and then preview, rename, restore, save as, or delete a selected version.	Microsoft 365 files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint can open Version History and restore an earlier version.	Google Docs, Sheets, and Slides let users view earlier versions, restore a version, copy an earlier version, and create named versions.	Notion pages provide version history so users can view earlier states and restore a selected version; retention depends on the plan.	Adobe lets users revert cloud documents to earlier versions, but this capability is centered on Creative Cloud documents rather than spreadsheet-style collaboration.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps preview, rename, restore this version, save as, and delete actions in one version panel. Distinct: the list directly shows the editor and version notes for faster review.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official page focuses on viewing and restoring versions, and does not present the same set of rename, save-as, and delete actions together on that page.	Compared with WPS: Google supports named versions and copying an earlier version, but its guidance is for the general Docs Editors interface instead of a dedicated multidimensional table workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion version history is centered on page content, so it is not the same type of structured table workflow.	Compared with WPS: Adobe version restore depends on its cloud document system and is not positioned as a multidimensional table workflow.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Version History fits day-to-day rollback work in multidimensional tables more directly because it combines version review and follow-up actions in one place. For users who need to judge a past version quickly and then act on it, the workflow is more streamlined.

Use Cases

No.	Scenario	Suitable For	Main Pain Point	How It Helps
1	Roll back after an accidental edit	Table maintainers	Current content was overwritten by mistake	Open version history and restore the correct version
2	Review collaboration changes	Team collaborators	It is unclear who changed the file and when	Check the editor, time, and version notes in the list
3	Keep milestone versions easy to find	Project owners	Important checkpoints are hard to identify later	Rename key versions for easier lookup
4	Export an older version for comparison	Reviewers	An older state is needed without replacing the current file	Use Save As on a historical version
5	Clean up unneeded history	File administrators	Too many saved versions make management harder	Delete versions that are no longer needed
