About This Feature
Overview
Insert Bookmark is a document navigation feature in WPS Office for Windows. It lets you mark a specific location in a long document so you can return to it quickly and prepare for cross-references more easily.
Core capabilities include:
- Insert a bookmark: Create a named bookmark at the current cursor position.
- Go to a bookmark: Select a bookmark from the list and jump to that location.
- Delete a bookmark: Remove an existing bookmark without changing the document text.

This feature is useful for long-document navigation, collaborative review, section-to-section jumping, and cross-reference preparation.
