About This Feature

Overview

Create New Document is the document creation entry in WPS Writer on iOS. It supports starting from a blank page, starting from a template, importing an existing file to continue editing, converting an image into a Word document, and entering an AI-assisted creation flow.

Core tasks include:

Create a blank document: open a new editable page for quick notes, drafts, and first-pass writing.
Create from a template: browse or search templates before creating a document for resumes, contracts, reports, and similar layouts.
Import from a file: bring in a local file, recent file, or cloud document and continue editing.
Create from scanned images: convert a photo or image into a Word document with automatic layout.
AI New: open the WPS Copilot dialog and generate content from your prompt.

This entry is useful for mobile work, class notes, contract drafting, material organization, and image-to-document workflows. If you need to start writing or continue working on existing content on an iPhone, it reduces the number of steps needed to begin.

Google Docs and Notion fit their own collaboration or page-based note workflows, Adobe is more focused on PDF creation and scanning, and Microsoft Word fits Word editing together with the Microsoft 365 ecosystem.
