About This Feature

Overview

Insert Add-in in WPS smart documents lets you place extension content such as interactive guide cards directly into a document. It is useful when you want to add an action-oriented card while editing and then adjust its interactive options later.

Core tasks include:

Insert an add-in from the Insert tab during document editing.
Insert an add-in from the paragraph + handle for a faster in-context workflow.
Edit an inserted interactive guide card and turn options such as document sharing, document saving, and document update follow-on or off.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Lets you insert an add-in in a smart document from the Insert tab or the paragraph `+` handle, then edit the interactive guide card.	Word on Windows supports viewing, installing, managing, and removing add-ins through File > Get Add-ins or Home > Add-ins.	Google Docs supports Google Workspace add-ons that can be installed and used from the right sidebar and the Extensions menu.	Notion supports embeds and connected content through the `+` menu or `/embed`, but it does not use a document add-in model in the same way.	Acrobat provides PDF embedding and content insertion workflows, but it does not present a directly comparable writing-document add-in entry in the same way.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS provides both a ribbon path and a paragraph-level insertion path close to the editing area. Distinct: inserted cards can be edited directly for interactive options.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation focuses more on add-in installation and management than on paragraph-level insertion inside the document body.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs emphasizes sidebar and Extensions-based add-on access rather than a paragraph-level insertion handle in the document body.	Compared with WPS: Notion is centered more on embedding external content than inserting and editing document add-in cards.	Compared with WPS: Adobe documentation is centered more on PDF embedding and document content handling than on in-document add-in cards for writing workflows.

Overall Conclusion
WPS Insert Add-in is well suited to smart document workflows where you want to insert an interactive card close to the current paragraph and adjust it without leaving the editing context. Other products cover add-ins, embeds, or PDF insertion from different angles, but their official workflows emphasize different entry points and content models.
