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.
Using the comment feature, users can highlight specific sections, ask clarifying questions, or propose revisions.
Every comment is anchored to its precise context in the text, ensuring the author never loses track of where feedback applies.
Each comment thread groups replies and sub-responses together, maintaining clarity and logical flow.
Another essential feature is the change tracking function.
When enabled, every edit made by a reviewer—whether it’s a deletion, insertion, or formatting adjustment—is visibly marked and recorded.
The author can examine each change on a case-by-case basis and choose to approve or discard it.
This level of transparency minimizes misunderstandings and preserves the integrity of the original content while encouraging constructive input.
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.
By mentioning a colleague in a comment, WPS automatically notifies them, keeping everyone informed and engaged.
Establishing a clear framework prior to review minimizes ambiguity and aligns reviewer priorities.
Guidelines should specify submission deadlines, citation styles, and whether feedback should target argument strength, organization, or linguistic accuracy.
Sharing these guidelines within the document’s introduction or as a separate note in the comments section helps align everyone’s efforts.
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.
Throughout the process, version history is automatically saved, allowing users to revert to earlier drafts if needed.
It guarantees that even discarded ideas remain accessible and that the progression of the document is fully traceable.
Adopting this method turns peer review into a fast, accountable, and cooperative workflow.
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.
