About This Feature
Overview
Merge Documents is a document consolidation feature in WPS Office for Android. It helps you bring content from multiple files into one document, which is useful for combining team drafts, collecting chapter content, or organizing materials in one place.
Core tasks include:
- Merge by copy and paste: useful for smaller amounts of content when you want to insert selected text into a target document.
- Merge same-type files from the in-document entry: useful when you want to add files directly from Recent, WPS Drive, or local storage while editing.
- Open Merge Documents from Home search: useful when you want to find the tool quickly from the Home page and add multiple files for merging.
This feature fits scenarios such as team content collection, chapter consolidation, and file archiving. Before you start, make sure the files are the same type and that your device has enough storage space for the merged result.

| Capability Summary | On Android, you can open Merge Documents from More → All Services / More Output & Conversion or from Home search, then add same-type files from Recent, WPS Drive, or local storage and start merging. You can also combine content manually by copy and paste. | Word supports copy-and-paste merging, and Microsoft also documents Insert → Object → Text from File for merging multiple documents into the current file. | Google Docs official pages highlight importing, editing, and collaboration, but the official product page does not describe a native direct tool for merging multiple documents into one document. | Notion supports importing multiple Word, Markdown, HTML, and PDF files, and it also supports moving or duplicating pages, but it is not positioned as a native mobile word-processing flow for merging documents into one editable file. | Acrobat provides Combine Files to merge multiple file types into a single PDF, with a focus on PDF output and page organization. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS on Android offers both manual merging and a dedicated merge tool. It also lets you add same-type files directly from Recent, WPS Drive, and local storage, which is practical for mobile document collection. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's documented merge methods are mainly centered on desktop document insertion or revision combining, with less emphasis on a direct Android merge entry. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses more on collaboration, import, and version history. An official direct multi-document merge entry is not clearly described. | Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for content migration and page organization, rather than a same-type document merge flow on Android. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat supports broader file-type combination, but the result is centered on PDF rather than an editable word-processing document. |

Overall Conclusion: If you want a more direct way to combine same-type documents on an Android device, WPS provides a clearer mobile entry path. Other products may be more suitable when your work is centered on desktop document insertion, online collaboration, or PDF combination.
