About This Feature

Overview

Insert Cover is a built-in layout feature in WPS Writer on Windows. It lets you add a cover page to the beginning of a document, then continue editing the title, author, and other cover content.

Core tasks include:

  • Insert a cover: Open the cover gallery from the Insert tab and add a cover page to the first page of the document.
  • Edit cover content: Update text on the cover and replace the image when needed.
  • Delete a cover: Remove the current cover page from the cover menu.

Some cover templates display a membership label, so it is helpful to check template availability before selecting one.

Capability SummaryIn WPS Writer, you can use Insert → Cover to add a cover page, edit text on the cover, and delete the cover. Some templates display a membership label.Word provides a cover page gallery under Insert → Cover Page. Microsoft also notes that inserting another cover page replaces the first one, and users can remove the current cover page.Google Docs supports a cover image in pageless mode. Users can add it with @cover image and then replace, reposition, or delete it, but this is not a traditional document cover page template gallery.Notion pages support Add cover and Change cover for page cover photos. This is more page presentation oriented than a document-first cover page layout.Adobe Acrobat supports creating and organizing PDF pages and offers document design and template-related workflows, but its official help content is centered on PDF workflows rather than a Writer-style cover page gallery inside a word processor.
WPS AdvantagesAdvantage: WPS keeps cover insertion, editing, and deletion inside the Writer document workflow, with a direct Cover entry under the Insert tab.Compared with WPS: Word also has a cover page gallery, but Microsoft states that inserting another cover page replaces the first inserted cover page.Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses on a cover image in pageless mode, so the workflow differs from a document cover page template library.Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on page cover photos for workspace pages rather than cover page layouts for word-processing documents.Compared with WPS: Acrobat is oriented toward PDF creation and page management, so its cover-related workflows serve a different document type and editing path.

Overall Conclusion: If you want to add and edit a cover page directly inside a Windows word-processing document, WPS provides a focused path in Writer. If your work is centered on page cover images or PDF page workflows, the other products may fit those scenarios more closely.
