About This Feature

Overview

Create New Documents in WPS on macOS is the cloud document entry point for starting new content in the current cloud folder. It lets you open the New panel, create different document types, upload local files, and add folders for organization.

Core capabilities include:

Open the New panel: enter the cloud document workspace and view available creation options from the + New entry.
Create multiple document types: start Smart Document, Smart Spreadsheet, Smart Form, Writer, Presentation, Spreadsheet, or Multi-dimensional Table, then continue editing right away.

Capability Summary	From the cloud document view, + New can create Smart Document, Smart Spreadsheet, Smart Form, Writer, Presentation, Spreadsheet, and Multi-dimensional Table. It can also upload files or create a folder, and new content is saved in the current cloud directory.	OneDrive lets users select Add new to create Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files in Microsoft 365 web apps, and files are saved to OneDrive by default.	Google Docs Editors lets users click Create to start Docs, Sheets, Slides, Forms, or Vids files, with changes saved automatically online.	Notion lets users create a new page, start from a template, import from a file or app, or create a table. File uploads are supported through file blocks and Files & media properties.	Adobe Acrobat web supports file upload and folder management in Adobe cloud storage, with a stronger focus on cloud file handling and PDF workflows.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: one entry combines document creation, file upload, and folder setup. Distinct: new content is placed in the current cloud directory so you can keep working and organizing in the same location.	Compared with WPS: the official flow focuses on creating Microsoft 365 web files, while upload and folder organization are described in separate OneDrive workflows.	Compared with WPS: creation is clear for Google editor file types, but the workflow is centered on Google Docs Editors products.	Compared with WPS: page creation and file upload are available, but they are described as separate content-building actions rather than one cloud document entry.	Compared with WPS: the official workflow is centered more on cloud storage and PDF-related file management than on a general office document creation hub.
