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.



Once the document is uploaded and shared, each reviewer can open it simultaneously and begin their evaluation without the need to exchange multiple file versions.



Reviewers can annotate and suggest changes in real time, with all modifications appearing instantly for everyone to see.



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



Every comment is anchored to its precise context in the text, ensuring the author never loses track of where feedback applies.



Reply threads keep all related feedback in one cohesive chain, preventing disjointed discussions.



Equally important is the revision history and edit tracking capability.



When enabled, every edit made by a reviewer—whether it’s a deletion, insertion, or formatting adjustment—is visibly marked and recorded.



This allows the document owner to review each modification individually and decide whether to accept or reject it.



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



To ensure comprehensive coverage, the owner can designate responsibilities, such as one person reviewing data analysis and another checking language.



For instance, Reviewer A handles statistical validity, Reviewer B checks coherence, and Reviewer C refines linguistic precision.



WPS Collaboration allows users to tag others in comments, which sends them a notification and ensures that no feedback is overlooked.



Setting ground rules ahead of time enhances the quality and efficiency of the review process.



Consider outlining deadlines, preferred formatting standards, and whether reviewers should focus on substance, flow, or grammar.



Include the criteria in the first page of the document or post them as a pinned comment for all reviewers to reference.



After feedback is gathered, the author systematically goes through each comment and revision to integrate improvements.



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



Once edits are finalized, the author can update the document status or send a notification to teammates for a final review.



WPS automatically preserves every saved version, enabling easy rollback to any prior state of the document.



This safeguard ensures that no valuable input is lost and provides a clear audit trail of the document’s evolution.



Adopting this method turns peer review into a fast, accountable, and cooperative workflow.



The platform’s intuitive interface and integrated tools reduce administrative overhead and foster a culture of constructive feedback, ultimately improving the quality of written work without the delays associated with traditional email exchanges or printed drafts.
