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 Summary | In 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 Advantages | Advantage: 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.
