About This Feature
Overview
Save and Save As in WPS on iOS lets you save current presentation edits or save a presentation as a new file with a different name, location, or format. After editing, you can save directly to the current file location. When you save a new file for the first time, you can choose a save path and enter a file name. If you want to keep the original file, you can use Save As to create a separate copy.
Core capabilities include:
- Save a presentation: Write current changes to the existing file or save a new file to a selected location for the first time.
- Save As to a selected location: Choose .pptx or .ppt and save the file with a new path and file name.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In the iOS presentation editing interface, WPS lets you save the current file directly or open Save As from More, then choose .pptx or .ppt and set a save location. | On iPhone and iPad, Word, Excel, and PowerPoint use Save a Copy for duplicate saving, and new files can be named and saved to a cloud location. | Google Docs Editors automatically save changes online and let users download a copy of the file. | Notion lets users export pages or databases as PDF, HTML, and Markdown & CSV for backup or sharing. | Adobe Acrobat lets users save the current PDF, save a renamed copy, and export to other file formats. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides both Save and Save As in one mobile presentation workflow and supports direct .pptx and .ppt selection for version retention. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft emphasizes AutoSave and Save a Copy on mobile, so the official flow focuses more on duplicate saving than a traditional Save As entry. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses on cloud auto-save and downloaded copies, rather than a manual save flow for presentation files in the same way. | Compared with WPS: Notion is centered more on page export and content backup than on in-place saving after presentation editing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses mainly on PDF saving and export, so the file type and editing scenario differ from presentation editing. |

Overall Conclusion: If you need to save a presentation on iPhone or keep multiple presentation versions on iOS, WPS offers a direct mobile workflow for both Save and Save As. Other products also provide saving, auto-save, or export features, but their official workflows focus more on copy-based saving, cloud collaboration, page export, or PDF handling.
