This FAQ covers 3 common questions about Collaboration Attachments, mainly about opening behavior, supported formats, and document size changes.
FAQ
Can recipients open and view an attachment after it is inserted?
- Yes. The inserted attachment is saved together with the main document.
- After the recipient opens the main document, they can tap the attachment icon to open and view it.
- If the attachment is large, the main document size also increases, so it is helpful to check file size before sharing.
Which attachment formats are supported?
- On Android, WPS currently supports common WPS Writer, Spreadsheet, Presentation, and PDF files as attachments.
- Before insertion, confirm that the file format is within the supported range.
- If the file cannot be selected, convert it to a supported document format first and then insert it again.
Why did the main document become larger?
- The attachment is saved as part of the main document.
- The larger the inserted attachment is, the larger the main document file usually becomes.
- To control document size, reduce the number of attachments or use smaller files when possible.
