About This Feature
Overview
WPS Cloud Records is a cloud-document collaboration record feature in WPS Office for Windows. It helps teams review who made changes, when the action happened, what type of action was performed, and a short summary of the content involved.
Core capabilities include:
- View collaboration records: Open the right-side panel to review action time, collaborator, action type, and content summary.
- Filter collaboration records: Narrow records by time range, collaborator, and action type.
This feature is useful for multi-person editing, issue tracing, responsibility confirmation, and change review. Collaboration records keep the most recent 1000 actions, and the document must be in collaboration mode.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Provides cloud-document collaboration records with action time, collaborator, action type, content summary, and filtering by conditions; the most recent 1000 records are retained. | Microsoft 365 lets users view previous versions of files stored in OneDrive or SharePoint, open an earlier version, compare versions, or restore a version. The official page focuses on version history. | Google Docs lets users see what changed in a file, review earlier versions, restore a version, and create named versions. Some editor-identification features depend on Google Workspace plans. | Notion provides page version history, lets users open past versions, review highlighted changes, and restore a page version. The available history window depends on the plan. | Adobe Acrobat focuses on shared PDF review tracking, including review status and comment activity for shared PDF files. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: Opens a dedicated collaboration-record view for cloud documents. Distinct: Shows action summaries together with filters for time range, collaborator, and action type. | Compared with WPS: the official Microsoft page emphasizes version history and restore workflows rather than a dedicated collaboration-record panel filtered by collaborator and action type. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses on version history and restore workflows; some detailed editor-view features are tied to specific Workspace plans. | Compared with WPS: Notion links page history depth to plan limits more directly, and its official help notes that detailed version comparison is not available on mobile. | Compared with WPS: Adobe centers this workflow on PDF review and comment management instead of a general cloud-document collaboration record panel. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Cloud Records fits cloud-document collaboration scenarios where teams want a direct view of collaborator actions and quick filtering. If your main goal is version restore, page history, or PDF review management, Microsoft, Google, Notion, and Adobe each focus on a different type of history workflow.
