These FAQs cover 3 common question types about Protect Worksheet, plus a glossary to help you set up and manage worksheet protection more efficiently.
FAQ
Why can't I find the Protect Worksheet entry?
- Make sure you opened a WPS spreadsheet file instead of another file type.
- Tap Tools at the bottom, then open the Review tab.
- If the entry still does not appear, update WPS Office and try again.
Why can I still perform some actions after protection is enabled?
- Worksheet protection mainly limits editing changes to the sheet content.
- Open Review again and confirm that Protect Worksheet is still enabled.
- If you need stricter control, combine this feature with your file management process.
What should I do if I forget the protection password?
- First confirm whether a password was actually set when protection was enabled.
- Try the passwords you commonly use for this file.
- If you cannot confirm the correct password, you will not be able to remove protection through the original password flow, so it is helpful to keep a record when you set it.
