About This Feature

Overview

Indent is a built-in paragraph-formatting feature in WPS Office smart documents on iOS. It helps move paragraphs inward or outward relative to the page margin so document structure is easier to read.

Core tasks include:

Increase indent: move a selected paragraph inward for subpoints, quoted text, or grouped content.
Decrease indent: move a paragraph back outward to restore a higher text level.
Apply consistent indentation to multiple paragraphs: keep formatting uniform across selected content.

This feature is useful for meeting notes, study notes, project descriptions, and structured lists.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	WPS smart documents on iOS let you select a paragraph and use alignment and indentation controls to increase or decrease indent quickly.	Word mobile supports paragraph indentation and also documents special indent options in its official formatting help.	Google Docs on iPhone and iPad supports paragraph formatting through the Format menu and Paragraph options.	Notion officially supports indenting and un-nesting content blocks, which is useful for nested content structure.	Acrobat on iOS focuses on PDF viewing, commenting, sharing, and subscription-based PDF editing tools rather than document paragraph indentation.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The indentation controls are part of the smart document editing flow, which is convenient for quick paragraph-level formatting on mobile.	Compared with WPS: Supports indentation, but the official guidance is broader mobile formatting rather than a smart-document-specific workflow.	Compared with WPS: Covers paragraph formatting on iOS, but the official page emphasizes general paragraph tools more than a direct indent workflow in this scenario.	Compared with WPS: Focuses on block nesting instead of a traditional document paragraph indentation workflow.	Compared with WPS: Focuses on PDF workflows, so it is not a direct match for paragraph formatting in editable smart documents.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Indent fits mobile smart-document editing well when you need to adjust paragraph levels quickly on iOS. Word and Google Docs also cover paragraph formatting, while Notion is more block-based and Acrobat is centered on PDF workflows.

1	Organizing meeting notes by level	Office users	Topics, decisions, and action items are mixed together	Increase indent to separate supporting details from main points
2	Structuring study notes	Students and trainees	Notes do not show clear hierarchy	Use different indentation levels for key points and explanations
3	Standardizing project descriptions	Team collaborators	Multiple paragraphs use inconsistent formatting	Select several paragraphs and apply the same indent level
4	Highlighting quoted content	Editors and writers	Quotes blend into body text	Move quoted paragraphs inward to distinguish them visually
