About This Feature

Overview

Document Properties in WPS Office for Android lets you view basic information about the current text document, including the file name, file size, storage location, creation time, modification time, and author.

Capability Summary	On Android, WPS lets you open Document Info to view the file name, file size, location, creation time, modification time, and author for the current document.	Microsoft Word supports document info and document properties such as author, file name, date, file path, title, and other built-in properties, mainly described in desktop Word workflows.	Google Docs emphasizes collaboration, permissions, and version history. Official help highlights who last edited a file and when, rather than a separate document properties panel.	Notion focuses on page and database properties such as created time, created by, last edited time, and last edited by for structured content management.	Adobe Acrobat provides document properties and metadata for PDFs, including title, author, subject, keywords, and related document details.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry path on Android is direct for quickly checking current document details. Distinct: File identity, storage location, and time records are shown together in one view for fast verification.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft provides a broader document property system, but the official guidance here focuses on desktop insertion and property fields rather than a simple Android document info view.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs is more centered on collaboration and version tracking, and the official materials do not emphasize a dedicated mobile document properties panel.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to structured pages and databases than traditional file-level document property viewing.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat offers richer metadata handling, but it is oriented to PDF workflows rather than general text document checking on Android.

Overall Conclusion
If you mainly need to confirm file details quickly on Android, WPS offers a shorter path for checking the current document's basic information. Microsoft and Adobe cover broader property or metadata systems, while Google Docs and Notion focus more on collaboration history or structured properties.
