About This Feature
Overview
Merge Documents is a document-processing feature in WPS Office for iOS that combines multiple files of the same type into one document. It is useful for consolidating collaborative drafts, combining chapter files, or organizing related materials into a single file.
Core tasks include:
- Open Merge Documents from the More menu and add same-type files from Recent, Cloud Drive, or Local.
- Find Merge Documents from the Home search bar and start the merge flow quickly.
- Manually combine content with copy and paste when a direct tool-based merge is not the preferred workflow.
Common use cases include team draft consolidation, chapter assembly, and mobile document organization.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, WPS provides a Merge Documents entry that lets you add same-type files from Recent, Cloud Drive, or Local and start merging. It also supports manual consolidation through copy and paste. | Microsoft Word officially documents combining document revisions through Review > Compare > Combine, focused on merging reviewed versions of a document. | Google Docs community guidance states that Docs does not currently include a built-in document merge feature, and copy/paste is the main workaround. | Notion can import one or more .docx files and show import progress, but the result is imported pages rather than directly merging multiple documents into one editable document file. | Adobe Acrobat can combine multiple PDFs and other file types into one PDF, with preview, reordering, and page removal before output. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct Merge Documents entry on iOS for document consolidation. Distinct: It also supports copy-and-paste merging for quick manual assembly. | Compared with WPS: Word's official workflow is more focused on revision comparison and combining reviewed copies than on a mobile-first entry for merging multiple regular documents. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs does not currently provide a built-in merge-documents feature, so multi-document handling relies more on manual copy and paste. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to importing and organizing content, while control over original document formatting and merged output is more limited. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is more suitable for PDF combination; if the goal is continued editing in a text document workflow, the output format and process are different. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need a mobile entry on iOS to combine multiple same-type documents into one result file, WPS is closer to that workflow. If your main task is revision comparison, content import into pages, or PDF combination, Microsoft, Notion, and Adobe each fit those scenarios more directly.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable Users | Main Pain Point | Solution |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Consolidate team drafts | Team members, editors | Multiple contributors submit separate files, and manual consolidation takes time | Use Merge Documents to add same-type files in one task and output a combined file |
| 2 | Assemble chapter files | Students, writers | Chapters are saved separately and are hard to review together | Search for Merge Documents and add files in order |
| 3 | Combine a small amount of content quickly | Mobile users | Only a small amount of content needs to be placed into one file | Use copy and paste to combine content manually |
| 4 | Gather files from cloud storage | Membership users | Files are split across cloud and local storage | Add files from Recent, Cloud Drive, and Local in one merge panel |
| 5 | Check file order before output | Document organizers | The final reading order may not match expectations | Confirm source files and their order before starting the merge |
