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.

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.
