FAQ

Why are some headings missing from the directory?

  1. Confirm that the heading is placed in the main body of the document.
  2. Check whether the text uses a heading style instead of normal body text.
  3. If the heading is inside a highlight block or a table, it will not appear in the directory.
  4. Adjust the heading position or style, then open the directory again to check the result.

Will my directory display settings affect other people?

  1. Showing or hiding the directory applies only to the current user.
  2. Other collaborators still see the document based on their own interface state.
  3. If the document owner has expanded or collapsed directory nodes, other users see the same initial collapsed state when they first join collaboration.

Why can't I find the directory entry on mobile?

  1. Confirm that you opened a smart document rather than another content type.
  2. Check whether the document contains recognizable headings in the main body.
  3. In reading mode, look for the Directory button in the bottom-right corner, or open the top menu and look for View Directory.
  4. If the entry still does not appear, update WPS Office to the latest version and try again.
