About This Feature
Overview
Chapter Headings lets you assign heading levels to paragraphs in smart documents on Android, so your document keeps a clear structure and works better with table-of-contents navigation.
Core capabilities include:
- Set heading levels: apply Heading 1 (H1) through Heading 6 (H6) to a paragraph.
- Improve document structure: keep long documents easier to read and organize with consistent heading levels.
- Support table-of-contents recognition: headings applied in the main body can be used for document navigation.
This feature is useful for class notes, project plans, meeting notes, and other long-form documents.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, you can enter editing mode, open the bottom Aa entry, and apply Heading 1 through Heading 6 to organize document structure and support table-of-contents recognition. | Word Mobile supports applying heading styles from the Styles gallery and viewing a Headings Pane for navigation on mobile. | Google Docs on Android supports Title, Subtitle, and Heading 1-6, but its official help page says you cannot insert a table of contents on Android. | Notion supports H1-H3 headings and a table of contents block or page-level table of contents, with a page-block workflow rather than a traditional document editor workflow. | Acrobat on Android mainly supports viewing and navigating an existing PDF table of contents, which fits PDF reading rather than editable document heading styling. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides H1-H6 directly on Android. Distinct: the heading entry stays in the same mobile editing flow, which is convenient for organizing long documents on a phone or tablet. | Compared with WPS: supports heading styles and heading navigation, but the official page focuses more on navigation and style application than on a continuous mobile writing flow. | Compared with WPS: also supports Heading 1-6, but Android cannot insert a table of contents according to Google's official help page. | Compared with WPS: focuses more on page blocks and knowledge-base structure, with fewer heading levels at H1-H3. | Compared with WPS: focuses on PDF reading and table-of-contents viewing instead of editable body-text heading styling. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Chapter Headings fits mobile document editing well when you need to organize body text directly on Android. Compared with Google Docs, Notion, and Acrobat, WPS keeps the heading-setting workflow more focused on editable document structure; if your main need is PDF table-of-contents reading, Acrobat is a better fit.
