About This Feature
Overview
Share Partial Worksheets is a spreadsheet collaboration feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you select specific worksheets from a workbook and share only that selected range instead of sending the entire file.
This helps narrow the shared content, reduce exposure of unrelated tabs, and make worksheet-level sharing easier for collaboration, reporting, and external delivery. After sharing, the recipient can view only the worksheets that were included.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you choose specific worksheets in a workbook, extract them, and send only the selected worksheets on iOS. | Microsoft Support describes sharing an Excel workbook with view or edit permissions, but the cited page does not describe extracting and sending only selected worksheets as a separate share unit. | Google Sheets supports sharing a spreadsheet with people or by link, and Google also documents publishing an entire spreadsheet or individual sheets to the web. | Notion supports sharing pages with people, teams, guests, or the web, with page-level permissions and links. | Adobe Acrobat supports sharing PDF links for viewing or review, with the shared object being a PDF file. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS focuses on worksheet-level sharing, which fits cases where only selected tabs should be sent from a workbook. | Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on workbook sharing and permissions rather than worksheet-range extraction for sharing. | Compared with WPS: Google emphasizes spreadsheet sharing; publishing individual sheets is available, but that workflow is different from extracting selected worksheets and sending them as shared workbook content. | Compared with WPS: Notion sharing is page-based rather than worksheet-based, so it is not aimed at preserving spreadsheet tab structure while sharing only selected sheets. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF sharing and review rather than worksheet-level spreadsheet sharing. |
| Official Source | — | Share your Excel workbook with others | Collaborate in Sheets | Share your work | Share PDF links in Acrobat |
Overall Conclusion
If you need to share only selected tabs from a workbook on mobile, WPS is better aligned with that workflow. The other products also support sharing, but their official pages mainly describe workbook, page, or PDF sharing rather than worksheet-level extraction and delivery.
