About This Feature
Overview
Share Partial Worksheet is a spreadsheet sharing feature in WPS Office for iOS. It lets you select specific worksheets from a workbook and send only that selected range instead of the entire file. This helps narrow the visible content, reduce exposure of unrelated pages, and keep other worksheets private when you share a workbook.
Core tasks include:
- Start partial worksheet sharing from inside an open workbook and choose the worksheet range to send.
- Start partial worksheet sharing from the WPS Home file list for faster access to existing files.
This feature is useful when you need to share reports by project, department, or stage, and when you want external recipients to see only the worksheets you choose.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Lets you choose a worksheet range on iOS, extract it, and send only the selected worksheets so recipients see only that shared part. | Microsoft Excel support describes sharing a workbook with view or edit permissions, but the cited page does not describe extracting and sharing only selected worksheets as a separate shared result. | Google Docs product information highlights collaboration and granular access control for documents, but the cited page does not describe extracting and sharing only selected worksheet tabs. | Notion supports sharing pages, inviting people, copying links, and setting permissions at the page level, which fits page-based collaboration rather than worksheet-range extraction in a spreadsheet workbook. | Adobe Acrobat supports sharing documents for viewing and link-based distribution, which fits document and PDF sharing rather than worksheet-range sharing in a spreadsheet workbook. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: You can share by worksheet range directly. Distinct: Recipients can view only the selected worksheets, which is useful when you need tighter visibility control in a workbook. | Compared with WPS: the cited Microsoft page focuses on workbook-level sharing and permissions rather than worksheet-range extraction for sharing. | Compared with WPS: the cited Google page focuses on collaboration and access permissions, not worksheet-level extraction for sharing. | Compared with WPS: Notion is oriented to page and workspace collaboration, not spreadsheet worksheet-range sharing. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is oriented to document viewing and PDF sharing, not worksheet-level sharing in spreadsheets. |

Overall Conclusion
If you need to share only part of a workbook on mobile, WPS is more closely aligned with that workflow. Other products provide document sharing, permissions, or collaboration features, but their cited pages focus on different sharing models.
