About This Feature

Overview

Paragraph Description is a built-in setting in WPS Office for Windows smart forms. It is used in the file collection workflow to add explanatory text for upload requirements, submission context, or completion notes.

Core tasks include:

Open the Paragraph Description entry: enter the file collection module in the form editor and locate the related setting.
Edit Paragraph Description content: enter or adjust the description text and related settings in the editing panel.
