About This Feature

Overview

Version History lets you view and restore historical versions of a multi-dimensional table so you can track changes over time and return to an earlier state after an unwanted edit or missing content.

Core capabilities include:

  • View version records in reverse chronological order from the right-side panel.
  • Manage saved versions with preview, rename, restore, save as, and delete actions.

This WPS Office guide is useful for collaboration review, rollback after mistakes, milestone retention, and backup-oriented version management.
