Capability Summary	In slideshow mode, WPS lets you use the Screen menu to show or hide existing ink markup without deleting it.	PowerPoint supports inking while presenting and provides ink tools such as drawing, selecting, and erasing ink.	Google Slides lets presenters annotate with a pen tool during a slideshow, and the annotations remain only during the current presentation.	Notion Presentation Mode turns a page into slides and hides comments while presenting, but its help page does not describe slideshow ink markup toggles.	Adobe Acrobat supports comments and markup for PDF review, but its official help content focuses on document review rather than slideshow ink visibility controls.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides a direct slideshow command for showing or hiding existing ink markup. Distinct: hiding ink changes visibility only and does not remove the markup.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official page emphasizes general inking tools, while the WPS command is more direct for toggling existing slideshow ink visibility.	Compared with WPS: Google Slides annotations disappear after the slideshow ends, so they are less suitable when you want to keep markup and toggle it again later.	Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on page-based presentations, and its official page does not describe preserved ink markup that can be shown or hidden during presenting.	Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented to PDF commenting and review workflows, and its official help page does not describe a slideshow ink visibility toggle.
