WPS Insert Local File on Windows FAQ

Last updated:July 23, 2026

When using Insert Local File, the most common questions focus on supported file types, collaborative viewing, and what happens after the original local file changes.

FAQ

What local file formats can I insert?

  1. You can insert image files such as JPG, PNG, GIF, and WebP.
  2. You can also insert video files and common document file formats.
  3. Images usually display directly in the document, while other files are usually kept as attachments.

Can collaborators see a local file after I insert it?

  1. After insertion, the file becomes part of the document content or attachment area for collaborators to view.
  2. If the file is large, such as a video, wait until the upload finishes before asking collaborators to check it.
  3. If collaborators cannot see it right away, refresh the document and confirm that the network connection is stable.

If I edit the original local file later, will the document content change too?

  1. The inserted content is separate from the original local file on your computer.
  2. Editing the original local file later does not automatically update the content already inserted in the document.
  3. If you need the latest version in the document, insert the updated file again.
