About This Feature
Overview
Multi-Page View in WPS Writer on macOS lets you display multiple pages on screen at the same time, making it easier to review overall document layout and page-to-page relationships.
Core tasks include:
- Switch to Multi-Page View from the View tab.
- Adjust zoom to control how many pages appear in the window.
- Switch back to Single-Page View for closer reading or editing.
This feature is useful for layout review, long-document browsing, and pre-review checks in collaboration scenarios. It changes only the way the document is displayed and does not change document content or formatting.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In WPS Writer, you can use View → Multi-Page to display multiple pages at once, and the number of visible pages changes with zoom level and window size. | Word provides Side to Side page viewing and explains that page movement and zoom behavior depend on the selected view mode. | Google Docs supports pages or pageless formats and lets users change zoom and document view, but it does not focus on a desktop-style multi-page editing view. | Notion supports zoom shortcuts for the interface, but it does not provide a page-based multi-page document layout view. | Acrobat provides Single page view, Enable scrolling, Two page view, and Two page scrolling, mainly for PDF reading and page display. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can switch directly to a multi-page layout inside the writing interface and combine it with zoom to review more pages quickly. | Compared with WPS: Word emphasizes Side to Side reading, and its official guidance notes that zoom selection is affected by page movement mode. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses more on page setup and online view modes, which works well for collaboration but offers less direct guidance for multi-page layout preview in editing. | Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on page and block organization, with zoom support but no document pagination view for layout review. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat is strong for PDF reading and two-page display, but its official page focuses on single, continuous, and two-page layouts rather than a direct multi-page editing layout. |
| Official Source | — | View a page at a time, side by side in Word | Change a document’s page setup: pages or pageless Zoom or change your document view | Keyboard shortcuts | Adjusting PDF views |
Overall Conclusion
If you want to review page-to-page layout while staying in a document editing workflow, WPS Multi-Page View is a practical fit. Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat also provide page display modes, but they focus more on reading flow or PDF viewing, while Google Docs and Notion focus more on online view settings or interface scaling.
