About This Feature

Overview

Smart Document Creation is a built-in WPS Office feature on macOS for creating a blank online document and opening it directly in the editor. After creation, the document is saved to the cloud so you can continue editing and collaborating across devices.

Core tasks include:

Create a blank smart document from the Home page when you want to start writing right away.
Create a smart document from the File menu while another document is already open.
Create a smart document inside a WPS Cloud folder for folder-based organization.
Create a smart document from the right-click menu in a cloud folder for faster file management.

This feature fits team notes, project drafting, and personal online writing. It helps reduce manual saving steps and places new documents directly into cloud management. It also gives you multiple entry points for starting a document.

Word lets you create a blank document or template from File > New, then access and share documents through OneDrive.	Google Docs lets you create a blank document from the Docs home page and work online with sharing and collaboration.	Notion lets you create a new page from the sidebar or with a keyboard shortcut, then continue writing in a page-based workspace.
