About This Feature
Overview
Document Information is a built-in information view for multi-dimensional spreadsheets in WPS Office on Android. It helps you check access data and basic file details in one place, so you can quickly confirm document status, ownership, and storage location.
Core tasks include:
- View access data: Check total views, viewers, and editors.
- Export detailed records: Export access records as a local spreadsheet file.
- View basic properties: Check the file name, owner, creation time, type, and file size.
- Confirm storage location: See whether the document is stored in the cloud or in a local path.
This feature is useful for collaboration checks, file verification, archive review, and mobile document management.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you view access data, file name, owner, creation time, type, file size, and location for a multi-dimensional spreadsheet in one panel, and it also supports exporting detailed records. | Microsoft Support explains Office file properties such as title, author, subject, keywords, and automatically updated details like file size and created or modified dates. Public guidance is mainly desktop-oriented. | Google Docs official pages highlight mobile viewing, editing, collaboration, and version-related workflows. Android help covers viewing, renaming, and downloading files, but it does not describe a dedicated document-information panel. | Notion officially supports database properties such as Created time, Created by, Last edited time, and Last edited by for tracking page history and ownership. | Adobe Acrobat officially documents PDF properties and metadata on desktop, while its mobile help focuses on viewing, sharing, editing, and subscription-based tools rather than a comparable document-information panel for spreadsheet-style files. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS combines access statistics and basic file properties in one entry point. Distinct: it can export detailed access records to a local spreadsheet file. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents broader metadata editing, but the cited official page does not show Android multi-dimensional spreadsheet access statistics or record export in one panel. | Compared with WPS: Google clearly supports mobile collaboration, but the cited official help does not show one place for owner, file size, location, and access statistics. | Compared with WPS: Notion is stronger for database property tracking, but the cited official help does not show file size, storage location, or exported access counts in the same way. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is more focused on PDF workflows and subscription tools, and the cited mobile help does not describe multi-dimensional spreadsheet access data viewing. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to review access activity, ownership, and storage location for a multi-dimensional spreadsheet on Android, WPS provides a more concentrated entry point for that workflow. The public materials from other products focus more on general metadata, collaboration, database properties, or PDF workflows.
