About This Feature
Overview
Insert Bookmark in WPS on macOS is a document navigation feature in WPS Writer. It lets you mark a specific location in a long document so you can return to it later, review content more efficiently, or prepare for internal links and cross-references.
Core tasks include:
- Insert a bookmark at the current cursor position.
- Go to a bookmark from the bookmark list.

| Capability Summary | WPS Writer lets you insert bookmarks, manage them by name, jump to bookmarked locations, and choose whether bookmark markers are visible. | Microsoft Word lets you add bookmarks, jump to them, and link to bookmarked locations in the same document. | Google Docs lets you add bookmarks in a document and use links to jump to bookmarked locations. | In Notion, bookmarks are web link preview blocks for external content rather than internal document location markers. | Adobe Acrobat lets you create bookmarks in PDFs and navigate document structure from the bookmarks panel. |

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly need to mark fixed positions and jump back to them in a Writer document, WPS covers the common bookmark workflow well. The term bookmark means different things across products, so the right choice depends on whether you work in word-processing documents, cloud docs, workspace pages, or PDFs.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main issue | How WPS helps |

| 2 | Marking review points | Editors and reviewers | The same revision point must be checked multiple times | Create bookmarks and return by name |
| 3 | Preparing for cross-references | Document organizers | Reference targets need to be fixed first | Create bookmarks before adding later links or references |
| 4 | Cleaning up old markers | Document maintainers | Too many outdated bookmarks make management harder | Delete bookmarks that are no longer needed |
