About This Feature

Overview

User Information lets you change the username shown in comment and revision boxes, making it easier to identify reviewers in collaborative editing. After you update the name, the new username appears in related review marks.

Core capabilities include:

Change the username: open the change-username panel from the review tools and update the display name.
Apply the name to review content: the updated name is used in revisions and comment boxes.
Support mobile review workflows: suitable for commenting, proofreading, and collaboration on iPhone and iPad.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On iOS, WPS provides an in-document path to change the name shown in comments and revisions through Tools → Review → Change Username.	Microsoft Word lets users change the user name and initials used in comments, revisions, and document properties, but the official guidance focuses on Office app settings on desktop.	Google Docs supports adding, replying to, filtering, and resolving comments, with collaborator identity tied to the Google account; the official help page does not describe a separate in-document control for changing the comment display name.	Notion shows member identity in comments and lets users change their name or profile photo in settings; its people profiles page notes that this feature is not available on mobile devices.	Adobe Acrobat supports changing the comment author name for comment display, with official guidance centered on Acrobat desktop comment preferences.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS offers a direct in-document entry on iOS for changing the review display name. Distinct: the updated name is used in both revisions and comment boxes during mobile review.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents the name change mainly as an app-level Office setting rather than an iOS in-document review entry.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs relies more on account identity, and the official comments page does not describe a separate review-path control for changing the comment name.	Compared with WPS: Notion is more focused on workspace profile management, and the official people profiles page says the feature is not available on mobile devices.	Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF comment author preferences, with less emphasis on a mobile document review path for this task.

Overall Conclusion: If your main goal is to quickly adjust the review display name on an iPhone or iPad, WPS provides a more direct mobile workflow. Platforms that center identity around account or workspace settings usually tie name changes more closely to profile management.
