When using Protect Worksheet, the most common questions are about finding the entry point, handling passwords, and checking protection status; this section covers 3 common questions and practical answers.
FAQ
Why can’t I find the Protect Worksheet option?
- Make sure you opened a WPS spreadsheet rather than a Writer or Presentation file.
- Tap Tools at the bottom of the screen, then switch to the Review tab.
- Look for the Protect Worksheet button in the review tools.
How do I know whether worksheet protection is already on?
- Finish turning on protection and return to the editing page.
- Tap Tools and open the Review tab again.
- If the Protect Worksheet button appears green, protection is on.
What should I do if I forget the protection password?
- Check whether you saved or recorded the password when you created it.
- If you need to remove protection, enter the correct password first.
- If the password is forgotten, the current worksheet cannot be directly unprotected with the original password, so it is important to keep the password safely when you set it.
