About This Feature
Overview
Collaboration Bullets and Numbers is a list-formatting feature in WPS Office for iOS. It helps you turn plain paragraphs into bulleted or numbered lists, then adjust list levels, restart numbering, continue previous numbering, and manage automatic numbering.
Core tasks include:
- Add numbered lists: turn selected text into a numbered list quickly.
- Promote numbering: move the current list item to a higher level.
- Demote numbering: move the current list item to a lower level.
- Restart numbering: begin numbering again from the current position.
- Continue previous numbering: continue the numbering sequence from an earlier list.
- Automatic numbering: keep numbering continuous while entering list items.
- Remove bullets or numbering: clear list formatting from the current paragraph.
This feature is useful for meeting notes, task lists, outlines, and collaborative document formatting on iPhone or iPad.
