About This Feature

Overview

Presentation Settings is a presentation playback control feature in WPS Office for Windows. It helps you configure how a presentation runs before you start presenting, including show mode, automatic or manual slide advance, slide range, and display output.

Core tasks include:

Manual Show: useful when the presenter wants to control slide timing during a live talk.
Auto Show: useful when slides should advance based on rehearsal timings.
Show Settings: useful for configuring show type, loop playback, pen color, slide advance behavior, and Presenter View in one place.

This feature fits meeting reports, kiosk-style looping displays, training presentations, and dual-screen speaking scenarios. It helps reduce last-minute setup changes and makes presentation playback easier to control.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports Manual Show, Auto Show, and a Set Up Show dialog for presenter full screen, kiosk loop playback, individual window browsing, slide range, loop playback, pen color, slide advance behavior, and multi-display Presenter View.	PowerPoint supports Set Up Slide Show, including speaker full screen, individual window browsing, kiosk looping, and rehearsal timings.	Google Slides focuses on browser-based presenting, recording, and presenting in Google Meet, which fits collaborative and remote presentation workflows.	Notion Presentation Mode turns page sections separated by divider blocks into slides and presents them in full screen.	Adobe Acrobat can present PDFs in full screen, set initial view, use single-page display, auto page turning, and page transitions for PDF-based presentations.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: combines manual show, auto show, and detailed playback settings inside the presentation workflow; Distinct: covers loop playback, slide advance options, and multi-display Presenter View in one setup area.	Compared with WPS: PowerPoint offers similar show-type controls and rehearsal timing support for standard slide presentations.	Compared with WPS: Google Slides emphasizes collaboration, recording, and Meet-based presenting, with less focus on a single local dialog for detailed playback parameters.	Compared with WPS: Notion is suited to turning document pages into slides, but it does not provide the same traditional slide show settings for display routing and slide advance controls.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat works well for full-screen PDF presentation, but it is not centered on editable slide-deck playback controls.

Overall Conclusion: If you want to configure show mode, slide advance logic, and display output in one place before presenting, WPS Presentation Settings fits that workflow well. Other products are also suitable for their own scenarios, such as browser collaboration, document-style presenting, or PDF presentation.
