About This Feature
Overview
Document Information is an information panel in WPS Office for Android spreadsheets. It helps you review the current file's access data and basic properties in one place, so you can confirm file status, ownership, and storage location more quickly.
Main tasks include:
- View access data, including total viewers, viewers in the last 30 days, and editors in the last 30 days.
- Export detailed records from the last 30 days for follow-up or record keeping.
- Check basic file properties such as file name, owner, creation time, type, file size, location, and file ID.
- Confirm where the file is stored and who owns it before sharing or managing it further.
