About This Feature
Overview
Insert Cover is a document layout feature in WPS Writer for macOS. It lets you place a pre-designed cover page at the beginning of a document to improve presentation and structure.
Core tasks include:
- Insert a cover: Open the cover gallery and add a selected cover to the first page.

| Capability Summary | In WPS Writer, you can open the cover gallery from Insert > Cover, choose a style, and insert it at the beginning of the document. You can also delete the current cover page. Some templates show a membership label. | Word provides a gallery of pre-designed cover pages from the Insert tab and also supports removing the current cover page. | Google Docs supports a cover image for documents in Pageless mode, but this is an image-based page header experience rather than a traditional document cover page gallery. | Notion lets users add a page cover photo for visual presentation, but it is not a paged document cover-page workflow. | Acrobat can generate a cover page for PDFs through its document enhancement workflow, which is oriented to PDF editing rather than word-processing documents. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The cover entry is built directly into the document editing flow in WPS Writer, and it supports both inserting and deleting a cover in the same feature path. | Compared with WPS: It also offers a cover page gallery and removal option, but the official guidance focuses on Word's own cover-page replacement and removal flow. | Compared with WPS: Its cover feature is tied to Pageless mode and focuses on cover images instead of a traditional first-page cover template workflow. | Compared with WPS: It is better suited to page styling and workspace presentation than to formatted first-page document covers. | Compared with WPS: It is more suitable for PDF cover generation and PDF enhancement than for everyday writer-style cover insertion in a text document. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to add a first-page cover quickly in a document on macOS, WPS keeps the workflow close to everyday document editing. Compared with page-cover image tools or PDF-focused cover design tools, WPS is more aligned with common writer-style document cover tasks.
