Hide blue table highlighting without deleting tracked changes
Use this when you want a clean view of the document but still need the tracked revisions for later review.
Track Changes highlighting is markup, not direct table formatting. Hiding markup only changes the view and does not remove any revision history.
Click the Review tab in the WPS Office Writer ribbon to display the tracking options.
Click Display for Review and choose No Markup to hide inserted row highlighting and other revision marks.
Click Show Markup and clear or select options such as Insertions and Formatting to control which blue marks are visible.
Permanently remove the blue highlighting by accepting or rejecting table changes
Use this when the revision marks are no longer needed and you want a final, clean document.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I hide tracked changes in a table without accepting them?
Open the Review tab in WPS Office Writer, click Display for Review, and choose No Markup. The blue table highlights disappear, but the tracked revisions remain in the file.
Why are inserted table rows highlighted in blue?
The blue highlighting is a revision indicator for inserted rows when Track Changes is enabled. It shows what has been added but is not part of the table's actual shading.
How do I permanently remove the blue marks from table rows?
Click Review, then use Accept or Reject to accept or reject the table row changes. Accepting all changes removes the revision highlighting permanently.
Will hiding markup change what others see when I share the file?
No Markup only affects your current view. The tracked changes still exist in the document and can be visible to others depending on their display settings.
Can I print the document without blue Track Changes marks?
Yes. Set Display for Review to No Markup before printing, or accept or reject the changes so the marks are removed from the document.
