FAQ

What should I do if I see a storage space warning while saving?

  1. Check whether your phone has enough local storage space.
  2. Delete unnecessary files or clear cache, then try again.
  3. If local storage is limited, save the file to WPS Cloud or an added cloud storage service instead.

Why do I need to choose a path and file name the first time I save?

  1. A new spreadsheet does not have a fixed storage location before the first save.
  2. The app needs a target path before it can create the file and write content to it.
  3. After the file name and format are set, later saves can continue on the same file.

Does Save As overwrite the original file?

  1. No. Save As creates a saved result in a new location.
  2. You can give the new file a different name or format.
  3. The original file usually stays in its original location for separate management.
