Mastering Peer Review Using WPS Office

To perform a peer review efficiently, WPS Collaboration provides native features that support seamless teamwork, iterative feedback, and document refinement.



The process begins by ensuring all participants have access to the same document through a shared link or cloud storage integration provided by WPS Office.



No more emailing attachments—once shared, everyone opens the same live document and reviews concurrently.



With live editing enabled, reviewers can add inline notes, highlight passages, and propose edits directly into the document.



Commenting allows for targeted feedback—whether it’s a question about data, a suggestion for restructuring, or a note on tone.



The system ties each comment directly to its corresponding paragraph or sentence, simplifying the revision process.



Threaded conversations stay nested under the original comment, eliminating the risk of fragmented or lost feedback.



Another essential feature is the change tracking function.



The system flags all edits visibly, distinguishing inserted text, removed content, and stylistic changes with clear indicators.



The document owner retains full authority to accept, decline, or modify every suggested change before finalizing.



Clear visibility of edits reduces ambiguity, protects the original draft, and invites thoughtful, actionable feedback.



To maintain structure and accountability, the document owner can assign specific sections or tasks to individual reviewers.



One reviewer may examine technical accuracy, while another polishes syntax and readability.



Tagging a reviewer via @username triggers an alert, ensuring their input is requested and acknowledged.



Before beginning, define expectations to ensure consistent and productive feedback.



Guidelines should specify submission deadlines, citation styles, and whether feedback should target argument strength, organization, or linguistic accuracy.



Place the guidelines at the top of the document or pin them as a comment to ensure visibility.



Once all reviews are complete, the author can consolidate the feedback by reviewing each comment and tracked change in sequence.



WPS Office provides a summary panel that lists all comments and edits, enabling the author to navigate through them efficiently.



After making revisions, the author can mark the document as reviewed or notify collaborators that the final version is ready for a final check.



Every modification is versioned automatically, ensuring no prior work is lost—even if changes need to be undone.



Version history acts as a safety net and a transparent record of how the document improved over time.



By using WPS Collaboration in this structured manner, teams can conduct peer reviews that are efficient, transparent, and collaborative.



With minimal setup and maximum functionality, WPS Collaboration replaces outdated workflows with a dynamic, feedback-rich environment that elevates writing quality and accelerates publication timelines.
