FAQ
Why can’t I find the Partial Worksheet option?
- Make sure the file you opened is a spreadsheet, not a Writer or PDF file.
- Check that the document is open in WPS Office on Android.
- Confirm your membership status, because this feature requires WPS Premium.
- Return to the top menu bar, tap Share again, and check whether Partial Worksheet appears.
What is the difference between Share Partial Worksheet and sharing the whole file?
- When you share the whole file, the recipient usually receives the complete workbook.
- When you use Share Partial Worksheet, you choose a worksheet range first, then extract and send only that part.

What is the difference between Share Partial Worksheet and document password protection?
- Share Partial Worksheet is used to choose and send selected worksheet content.
