About This Feature
Overview
Collaboration Bullets helps you add consistent bullet marks to paragraphs so list content is easier to read and organize. In WPS Docs on macOS, you can use the Home tab to add bullets, switch bullet styles, or remove bullets from an existing list.
This feature works well for meeting notes, task lists, collaborative document explanations, and other point-by-point content. After bullets are applied, pressing Enter continues the list automatically, which is useful when you need to create a bullet list quickly in WPS on Mac.

| Capability Summary | Lets you add bullets to selected paragraphs from the Home tab, choose a bullet style from the drop-down arrow, and click again to remove bullets. | Word for Mac lets you turn selected text into a bulleted or numbered list from the Home tab in the Paragraph group, and it can also recognize list input automatically. | Google Docs lets users add and customize bulleted or numbered lists and edit list type, indents, prefixes, and suffixes. | Notion supports bulleted lists by typing -, *, or + followed by a space, and it organizes content through blocks. | Acrobat lets users create bulleted or numbered lists while editing text, add or remove list rows, convert paragraphs to list items, and switch list types. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The bullet entry point is direct for document editing on macOS. Distinct: adding bullets, changing styles, and removing bullets are centered around the same toolbar area. | Compared with WPS: Word for Mac also supports automatic list creation and broader list behaviors, but the interface and options are more layered. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs is commonly used in browser-based collaboration and offers more list customization details in its help guidance. | Compared with WPS: Notion bullets are designed around block-based note taking and page building rather than a traditional document layout workflow. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat list editing is focused on PDF text editing, so its list workflow is more oriented to document revision after export. |
