About This Feature

Overview

Hide or Unhide Sheets is a built-in spreadsheet feature in WPS Office for iOS that controls whether worksheet tabs remain visible in a workbook.

Core capabilities include:

Hide a sheet: remove a selected worksheet from the tab bar while keeping its data in the workbook.
Unhide sheets: restore hidden worksheets so they appear again in the tab bar.
Keep workbook data intact: hiding changes visibility only and does not remove worksheet content.

This feature is useful when you want to simplify a workbook with many tabs, temporarily hide supporting sheets, or prepare a cleaner workbook view before sharing or presenting.

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	On iOS, WPS lets you hide or unhide worksheet tabs from the sheet-tab toolbar, while keeping worksheet data in the workbook.	Excel lets users hide or unhide worksheets, and hidden worksheet data can still be referenced from other worksheets and workbooks.	Google Sheets lets users hide sheets, but its help page notes that hiding is not the same as protection and viewers may still access hidden content in some cases.	Notion does not provide traditional workbook sheet hiding; it mainly manages visibility through database views, property visibility, filters, and groups.	Adobe Acrobat focuses on organizing PDF pages, such as adding, extracting, splitting, and arranging pages, rather than hiding spreadsheet worksheets.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: The entry point is centered on worksheet tab actions in the mobile spreadsheet interface, which is convenient for quick workbook cleanup on iOS.	Compared with WPS: Microsoft documents worksheet hiding clearly, but its official guidance is centered on desktop and web workflows rather than an iOS sheet-tab toolbar flow.	Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports hiding, but its official guidance emphasizes that hidden sheets are not protected content.	Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to database presentation control than workbook sheet visibility management.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat is designed for PDF page organization, not spreadsheet sheet visibility control.

Overall Conclusion
If you want to manage worksheet visibility quickly on a mobile device, WPS provides a direct sheet-focused workflow on iOS. Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets also support hiding sheets, while Notion and Adobe are designed for different content organization models.
