About This Feature
Overview
Edit Chart is a chart editing feature in WPS Office for Windows spreadsheet collaboration mode. It helps you adjust chart elements, styles, properties, and chart types on an existing chart so your data is easier to read and present.
Core tasks include:
- Edit chart elements: control whether chart titles, axes, data labels, and similar items are shown.
- Change chart styles: apply preset styles and color schemes quickly.
- Modify chart properties: adjust data ranges, series, titles, axes, and labels.
- Change chart type: switch to another chart type while keeping the original data.
This feature is useful when you need to refine charts in shared spreadsheets, keep report visuals consistent, correct chart settings, or present the same data from a different angle.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you edit chart elements, styles, properties, and chart types in a spreadsheet collaboration workflow. | Microsoft Word lets you adjust chart elements, chart styles, and chart data through Chart Elements, Chart Styles, and Edit Data tools. | Google Sheets lets you change chart type, data range, titles, legends, gridlines, and chart style from the chart editor. | Notion offers chart views for databases, with chart type changes and axis, grouping, label, and style settings, but chart view cannot directly edit database entries. | Adobe Acrobat Sign report charts support chart selection and filter changes for reports, but they are designed for report viewing and filtering rather than general spreadsheet chart editing. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: It keeps element, style, property, and type adjustments in one spreadsheet collaboration workflow, which is practical for updating existing business charts quickly. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft also provides chart editing controls, but its guidance focuses on Office chart tools and embedded chart scenarios in documents. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes a side-panel chart editor for online editing, while WPS keeps the workflow closer to direct chart editing in a desktop spreadsheet environment. | Compared with WPS: Notion is centered on database visualization views. Free users can try one chart, and chart view does not directly edit entries. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on report analytics and filtering, not on full spreadsheet chart styling and series editing. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to update an existing chart directly inside a shared spreadsheet, WPS provides a focused workflow for common chart adjustments. Other products also support chart-related tasks, but their emphasis is different, including document-embedded charts, browser-based editors, database views, or report analysis.
