About This Feature
Overview
Document Cover lets you turn the first page of a smart document into a dedicated cover page on Android. After it is enabled, the opening page can be used as a presentation area for the document title, theme details, or other front-page content.
The currently available ways to enable it include:
- Open Page Setup from the toolbar and turn on Cover Page.
- Open Page Setup near the title area and turn on Cover Page.
This feature is useful for reports, proposals, assignments, project notes, and other documents that need a clearer opening page. It also helps you complete basic mobile formatting more quickly.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | An Android device that can run WPS Office normally |
| App version | The latest version of WPS Office is recommended so the full Page Setup entry is available |

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you enable a dedicated cover page in a smart document through Page Setup, which is convenient for adding a front page during mobile editing. | Word provides a built-in cover page gallery. You can insert a cover page from Insert > Cover Page and replace the sample text. The official guidance is mainly desktop-oriented. | Google Docs supports cover images in documents. You can add one from the top entry, the Insert menu, or @cover image, and it is shown in pageless mode. | Notion pages support cover images. You can add or change a cover from the page header and choose from a gallery, upload a file, paste a link, or use AI-generated imagery. | Acrobat supports generating a cover page for PDFs through its desktop workflow with Adobe Express integration. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the Android entry is directly inside Page Setup, which fits quick mobile document editing. Distinct: both available paths stay close to the current document editing view, so the setup path is short. | Compared with WPS: the official guidance focuses on a gallery-based cover page workflow and desktop insertion steps, so the current Android path is less direct than WPS for this scenario. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses on a cover image and requires pageless mode, while WPS uses a cover page toggle that is closer to document structure settings. | Compared with WPS: Notion cover content works more like a page header image than a traditional standalone document cover page. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat cover-page guidance is centered on PDF editing and desktop workflows rather than in-document Android editing. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to enable a front-page cover while editing a document on Android, WPS offers a workflow that stays close to mobile page settings. Other products also provide cover-related features, but many of them focus on desktop workflows, header-style visuals, or PDF editing rather than a document cover-page switch inside Android editing.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main need | How it helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Organizing a class assignment cover page | Students | The first page looks unclear when editing on a phone | Turn on a cover page and place the title and course details on page one |
| 2 | Adding a proposal cover before sharing | Office users | A document needs a more formal opening page before sending | Use Page Setup to add a cover page quickly |
| 3 | Creating an event document front page | Organizers | The document opening lacks a clear theme area | Use the cover page for the event name and date |
| 4 | Adjusting report materials on the go | Managers and collaborators | Desktop layout tools are not available while away from a computer | Complete the cover-page setup directly on Android |
| 5 | Standardizing the opening page of repeated documents | Frequent writers | Multiple documents need a more consistent first page | Enable the cover page first, then fill in a consistent title layout |
