About This Feature
Overview
App Review is an app review capability in the WPS365 management console used to process listing requests for internal enterprise apps. Administrators can view pending and processed requests in the review list, open request details to check app information and version notes, and then approve or reject the request. After approval, the app is automatically listed in the WPS collaboration workspace for members within the configured scope.
Core capabilities include:
- View the app review list: Check pending and processed requests in one place for centralized management.
- Review request details: Open a request to verify app information and version notes before making a decision.
- Process review results: Approve or reject a request, and add a rejection reason to help developers revise and resubmit.
This feature is useful for internal app publishing management, administrator approval workflows, and pre-release checks.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides an internal app listing review entry where administrators can open requests, check details, approve or reject them, and automatically publish approved apps to the WPS collaboration workspace. | Microsoft provides document approval requests and approval history in Word, and also offers approval workflows for some content publishing scenarios. Public documentation focuses more on document or page approval than internal enterprise app listing review. | Google Workspace lets administrators manage Marketplace app allowlists, installation scope, and third-party app access requests, with a focus on organization-level app access control. | Notion Enterprise lets workspace owners restrict which connections members can install, maintain an approved connections list, and manage connection permissions at the workspace level. | Adobe Admin Console provides centralized management for products, users, permissions, and app integrations, with public documentation focused on enterprise administration and deployment management. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Review entry, request detail checking, and result handling are combined in one workflow. Distinct: Approved apps are automatically published after review, which fits internal app release management. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft public guidance is centered on document approvals or page publishing approvals, so the internal app listing review workflow is less direct in the referenced materials. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes allowlists and access control for Marketplace or third-party apps rather than a dedicated internal app listing approval flow. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on connection approval and workspace governance than on a publish-after-review flow for internal apps. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses more on enterprise console administration and integration management, with less emphasis on a closed review-to-listing workflow for internal apps in the referenced materials. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS App Review is well suited to organizations that need a focused internal app review and publishing workflow. Compared with public documentation for document approvals, connection governance, or app access control on other platforms, WPS centers the process on request review, decision handling, and automatic listing in one management path.
Use Cases

| 3 | Manage resubmission after rejection | Developers, review administrators | Rework reasons are unclear and repeated communication takes time | Add a rejection reason so developers can revise and resubmit |
| 4 | Track listing results | Enterprise managers | It is hard to distinguish pending and processed records quickly | Use the pending and processed lists to check status |
| 5 | Publish to the available member scope | Enterprise members, administrators | Approved apps still need manual follow-up or distribution | Approved apps are automatically listed in the collaboration workspace |
