Mastering Peer Review Using WPS Office

Conducting a peer review process using WPS Collaboration involves leveraging the built-in tools designed to facilitate teamwork, 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.



The commenting tool lets users pinpoint exact passages, request explanations, or recommend wording changes.



Comments stay attached to their original position, so authors can quickly navigate back to each feedback point without confusion.



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



A critical component is the built-in change tracking tool.



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.



This level of transparency minimizes misunderstandings and preserves the integrity of the original content while encouraging constructive input.



Assigning targeted sections helps distribute workload evenly and guarantees all aspects of the document are thoroughly evaluated.



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



Use the @mention feature in comments to directly alert assigned reviewers and guarantee their attention.



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.



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 revisions, the author can toggle the document state to "Ready for Final Approval" and alert the team.



The system retains a complete chronology of edits, so previous iterations can be restored at any time.



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



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



Its seamless integration and clean interface eliminate bureaucratic bottlenecks, promoting timely, high-quality feedback without the inefficiencies of email chains or physical copies.
