About This Feature
Overview
Collaboration Attachments lets you insert other document files into a WPS Writer document on Android, so related materials can stay together in one main document for file collection, record keeping, and collaborative review.
Core capabilities include:
- Insert attachments: Choose a file from Recent, Cloud Drive, or Local files and insert it into the current document.
- Open and view attachments: Editors or recipients can tap the attachment icon in the main document and open the file for viewing.
- Delete attachments: Remove an inserted attachment when it is no longer needed and keep the document organized.
This feature works well for project material collection, approval package preparation, and mobile document archiving. After insertion, the attachment is saved together with the main document for easier access in one place.

| Capability Summary | You can directly insert WPS Writer, Spreadsheet, Presentation, and PDF files as attachments in a Writer document on Android, then open, view, or delete them later. | Word supports embedding or linking a file through Insert > Object, mainly in desktop workflows. | Google's attachment workflow is more focused on choosing a Drive link or attachment in Gmail; native Google Docs files are generally shared by link. | Notion supports uploading files, adding file blocks, or embedding links in a page for centralized reference. | Acrobat supports attaching images, PDFs, Word files, Excel files, and other files to a PDF so they move with the PDF. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can insert, view, and delete attachments directly inside a Writer document on Android, which fits mobile document organization scenarios. | Compared with WPS: Official guidance focuses on desktop Word object embedding, with less direct guidance for attachment handling inside mobile documents. | Compared with WPS: The workflow is more link-sharing oriented, and attachment sending has format limits for native Google Docs files. | Compared with WPS: It is better suited to knowledge-base style page management, with a different workflow from attachment handling inside a word-processing document. | Compared with WPS: The workflow is centered on PDF attachment management rather than word-processing document editing. |
