About This Feature

Overview

Edit Shapes is a built-in shape editing feature in WPS Office for Windows Presentation. It helps you modify the appearance and outline of an existing shape on a slide.

Core capabilities include:

Change Shape: switch the current shape to another preset shape while continuing to edit on the same slide.
Edit Vertices: enter vertex editing mode and drag vertices or control points to reshape the outline.

This feature is useful for refining flowcharts, adjusting diagram details, improving teaching slides, and customizing graphic outlines.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	In WPS Presentation, Edit Shapes provides Change Shape and Edit Vertices under Drawing Tools, and related commands are also available from the right-click menu.	Microsoft Office supports Edit Shape and Edit Points on the Shape Format tab, allowing users to adjust points on many shapes.	Google Docs supports creating and formatting shapes in Google Drawings, including fill, line, resize, and rotation controls, but the cited help page does not show a direct equivalent to WPS vertex editing for existing slide shapes.	Notion supports adding, resizing, cropping, masking, and replacing images and media blocks, but its help content does not describe slide-style shape vertex editing.	Adobe Acrobat supports adding shapes, lines, and freeform drawings in PDFs for markup and review workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS combines Change Shape and Edit Vertices in one shape-editing entry and also provides quick access from the right-click menu, which is convenient for continuous slide editing.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft also supports point editing, but the cited guidance is broader Office shape editing rather than a slide-focused shortcut flow.	Compared with WPS: Google is more focused on drawing creation and basic shape formatting in a separate drawing workflow.	Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on page content and media layout rather than presentation shape refinement.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on PDF annotation and review graphics than presentation shape editing.

Overall Conclusion

WPS Edit Shapes is well suited to users who need to adjust existing shapes directly in presentation slides. Other products cover related areas such as general Office drawing, online drawing tools, media layout, or PDF markup, but their official guidance emphasizes different workflows.
