About This Feature

Overview

Revision in WPS Office for Mac is a document review feature that records edit traces such as insertions, deletions, and formatting changes, so reviewers can check what changed and decide whether to accept or reject each edit.

Core capabilities include:

Turn Revision on or off to keep recording edit traces while you work.
Accept or reject revisions to process changes one by one.
Use revision settings to adjust display modes, revision status, and filters.

This feature is useful for team drafting, contract review, academic editing, and final document checks.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to review edit traces directly in a word-processing workflow on macOS, WPS Revision covers the common steps of recording, reviewing, and adjusting revision display. If your work is more focused on browser-based collaboration, page suggestions, or PDF review, the other platforms may fit those scenarios more closely.
