About This Feature
Overview
Document Cover is a document cover feature in WPS smart documents on macOS. It is used to add a cover section to the first page of a document so the opening page can present title information and a cleaner layout for formal content.
Core tasks include:
- Turn on the cover option from the page settings entry above the title.
- Open document settings from the upper-left file menu, then turn on the cover option in page settings.
After it is enabled, a cover block is inserted on the first page so you can continue editing the title, subtitle, author, date, and other opening information.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | In smart documents, WPS lets you turn on a document cover from page settings and insert the cover on the first page. | Word provides a built-in cover page gallery that you can insert from the Insert tab and then replace sample text. | Google Docs supports cover images that can be added from a top chip, the Insert menu, or an @ command, with gallery and upload options. | Notion pages support page covers that can be added from a gallery, upload, image link, or AI generation. | Acrobat supports generating a cover page for a PDF. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The cover entry is available directly inside the smart document editing flow through page settings, which is convenient for first-page layout setup. | Compared with WPS: Word focuses on preset cover page layouts from a gallery for traditional document covers. | Compared with WPS: Google Docs focuses on full-width image covers and requires pageless mode for this experience. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses more on visual page covers than a traditional first-page document cover block. | Compared with WPS: Acrobat focuses on PDF cover-page generation rather than smart document first-page setup. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS Document Cover is well suited to quickly turning on and editing a first-page cover inside smart documents. If your main need is a preset template gallery, a full-width image cover, or a PDF cover workflow, the other products focus on different document types and editing models.
