About This Feature

Overview

Endnotes let you add references, annotations, or supplementary notes at the end of a document instead of at the bottom of each page. After insertion, endnote content is collected at the end of the document, which is useful for academic references, supporting notes, and long-form document comments.

In WPS Writer on Android, Endnote supports these practical tasks:

Insert an endnote reference mark at the current cursor position.
Create an endnote input area at the end of the document with automatic numbering.
Renumber endnotes automatically after you add or delete entries.

Capability Summary	WPS Writer on Android supports inserting endnotes in a document, placing note content at the end of the document, and maintaining numbering automatically.	Microsoft Word supports both footnotes and endnotes, and its official help page explains how to insert an endnote and type the note text at the end of the document.	Google Docs officially supports footnotes. In pageless documents, footnotes appear together at the end of the document, but the official page does not describe a separate endnote feature.	Notion provides writing, editing, blocks, comments, embeds, and page organization, but its official help content does not describe a dedicated footnote or endnote insertion feature.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF structure, comments, page handling, and PDF editing workflows, and the official page used here does not describe an endnote feature for word-processing documents.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: You can insert endnotes directly in WPS Writer on Android. Distinct: the note area is created at the end of the document and numbering is updated automatically as you edit.	Compared with WPS: Word also supports endnotes, but the cited official page is centered on general Word editing steps rather than a dedicated Android endnote workflow.	Compared with WPS: Google Docs documentation here focuses on footnotes, not a separate endnote tool.	Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented toward block-based writing and collaboration rather than academic-style endnote insertion.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat is designed for PDF editing and document structure tasks rather than standard endnote authoring in a text document.

Overall Conclusion
If you need to add reference notes at the end of a text document on Android, WPS Endnote provides a direct mobile entry point and automatic numbering maintenance. Other products cover related scenarios such as footnotes, block-based writing, or PDF editing, but their documented focus is different from endnote use in a Writer document.
