About This Feature

Overview

Revision in WPS Office for Windows is a review feature for document collaboration. It records inserted, deleted, and modified content so reviewers can inspect each change and decide whether to accept it.

Its main capabilities include:

Turn Revision on or off to keep a running record of edits.
Accept or reject revisions one by one.
Use revision settings to process revisions in bulk, switch display status, and filter revisions by time, reviewer, or type.

This feature is useful for collaborative drafting, contract review, policy proofreading, and final review before publication. When Revision is enabled, the modifier name and time can appear in the revision record, and collaborators can view the tracked edits.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Revision in WPS can be turned on from the Review tab to record inserted, deleted, and modified content, and it supports accepting, rejecting, display switching, revision balloons, and revision filtering.	Word provides Track Changes to record edits such as insertions and deletions and display markup from the Review tab.	Google Docs provides Suggesting so users can propose edits without directly replacing the original text, and suggestions can be accepted or rejected.	Notion mainly provides page version history and change highlights for reviewing page edits, rather than a line-by-line document revision mode.	Acrobat mainly compares two PDF versions to show differences in text, images, and formatting, which is closer to version comparison than continuous document revision tracking.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS keeps revision start, item-by-item handling, bulk accept or reject actions, display switching, and filtering in the same review area, which fits document review workflows well.	Compared with WPS: Word also supports tracked changes, while the referenced page focuses on markup display and the Track Changes entry.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs centers on suggestion mode for online collaboration; WPS also provides review-style revision settings that resemble a traditional document review flow.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more suitable for checking page history and restoring versions, while accepting or rejecting document revisions one by one is not its main review pattern.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more suitable for comparing two PDF versions and is not mainly designed for continuous revision handling in text collaboration.

Overall Conclusion
If your priority is continuous revision tracking, item-by-item review, and centralized handling inside a text document, WPS Revision fits common document review work well. If your work is centered on online suggestions, page history review, or PDF version comparison, the other tools may fit those document types more closely.
