About This Feature
Overview
Insert Add-in is a built-in capability in WPS Office for Android smart documents that lets you place interactive add-in content inside a document.
The main tasks include:
- Insert an add-in into the current document position.
- Edit an interactive guidance card after it has been inserted.
Available add-in types include video account cards, interactive guidance cards, and document data dashboards. A document data dashboard can display document views and reader counts in real time, which is useful for sharing, promotion, and engagement workflows.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android smart documents, WPS lets you open the add-in library from Toolbar → + → Add-in and insert items such as video account cards, interactive guidance cards, and document data dashboards. | Word add-ins are officially documented for Word on the web, Windows, Mac, and iPad. The public overview page does not list an Android Word add-in entry for the same workflow. | Google Docs and Sheets on Android support installing and using add-ons from the More menu. | Notion supports embedding external content, files, videos, and link previews inside pages, but this is closer to embedded content than a dedicated in-document add-in library. | Acrobat for Android provides PDF viewing, commenting, and editing tools, with some advanced actions tied to subscription plans, but it does not present the same type of document add-in library workflow. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS places add-in insertion directly inside the document editing flow on Android. Distinct: the same entry can insert both engagement cards and document data dashboards. | Compared with WPS: the official Word add-ins overview lists supported clients such as web, Windows, Mac, and iPad rather than Android for this add-in workflow. | Compared with WPS: Google focuses on launching installed add-ons, while WPS emphasizes inserting content cards directly into the document body. | Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for general embeds, while the workflow for engagement cards and document data dashboards is less direct. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF reading and editing rather than inserting interactive add-in cards into a document. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to insert engagement cards, external jump points, or document data displays directly inside an Android document, WPS offers a more focused path in this workflow. Other products also provide extensions or embeds, but their Android experience is centered on different product goals.
