About This Feature
Overview
Document Cover is a page setup feature in WPS Office for iOS smart documents that helps you add a cover page at the beginning of a document.
Its main uses include:
- Turning on the cover page option from the toolbar path in page settings.
- Turning on the cover page option from the title area path in page settings.
- Organizing the first page of a report, proposal, or other structured document more quickly on mobile.
This feature is useful for report formatting, proposal preparation, and document opening-page cleanup. It helps reduce manual first-page layout work and gives you two common entry points for the same setting.

| Capability Summary | WPS on iOS lets you open Page Settings in a smart document and turn on a Cover Page toggle directly. | Official Microsoft guidance for Word on iPad says there is no built-in cover page or title page feature like the desktop version, so users generally create one manually. | Official Google Docs help for iPhone and iPad covers title styles, headings, and tables of contents, but does not describe a built-in cover page toggle. | Notion supports page covers and icons for page presentation, but this is page decoration rather than a document cover-page setup feature. | Acrobat for iOS focuses on PDF viewing and editing, and its iOS help does not describe a document cover creation workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides a direct cover-page switch inside Page Settings on iOS smart documents, which keeps the workflow short for first-page setup. | Compared with WPS: Word on iPad lacks a built-in cover-page entry and typically requires manual layout. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs on iOS supports title styling, but not a direct cover-page switch for document setup. | Compared with WPS: Notion covers are visual page banners rather than formal document cover-page settings. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat on iOS centers on PDF handling and does not document an iOS document-cover creation feature. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to add a document cover page quickly on iOS, WPS offers a more direct in-document setup path. The other products listed here focus more on manual layout, title styling, page decoration, or PDF workflows, so their mobile experience is not the same as a dedicated cover-page setting.
