About This Feature

Overview

Revision in WPS on Android records insertions, deletions, and formatting changes in a Writer document so collaborators can review what changed and continue the review process more clearly. After Revision is turned on, later edits are kept as tracked changes for follow-up review.

Core tasks include:

Turn on Revision to start recording later edits.
Show Revision to display tracked changes in the document.
View Revision in classic mode to review changes in a side panel.
Turn off Revision to stop recording new tracked changes.

This feature is useful for team review, teacher or colleague feedback, and quick document checking on mobile.

Capability Summary	On Android, WPS lets you turn Revision on, show tracked changes, view revisions in classic mode, and turn revision recording off.	Word provides Track Changes, including turning tracking on or off, choosing markup display, and accepting or rejecting changes.	Google Docs provides Suggest changes, so users can propose edits without changing the original text until the owner accepts or rejects them.	Notion mainly provides page version history, letting users review past versions and highlighted changes rather than line-by-line tracked revisions in a word processor.	Acrobat mainly provides PDF commenting and review tools for adding comments, replies, and markup during PDF review.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: Android includes direct entry points for turning Revision on and showing tracked changes. Distinct: the same review area also includes a classic viewing mode for concentrated review.	Compared with WPS: Word's official guidance emphasizes markup display plus accept/reject workflows, and its mobile review flow varies by platform.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses on suggestion-based cloud collaboration, which is useful for shared editing but differs from tracked revision display in a word-processing review flow.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more suited to page history review than document-style tracked revision review.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is centered on PDF comments and review rather than tracked revisions in editable word-processing documents.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Revision is a practical fit for reviewing tracked edits in Writer documents directly on Android. If your main task is cloud suggestions, page history review, or PDF commenting, the other products cover those workflows well; for mobile document revision viewing and recording, WPS offers a more direct path.
