About This Feature
Overview
Insert or Delete Worksheet is a basic workbook management feature in WPS Sheets on Android. It helps you add a blank worksheet to the current workbook or remove a worksheet you no longer need.
Core tasks include:
- Insert a worksheet: add a new blank sheet from the sheet tab area.
- Delete a worksheet: long-press a sheet tab and remove the selected sheet.
- Deletion reminder: deleting a worksheet is irreversible after confirmation.
This feature is useful when you need to organize multi-sheet workbooks, add a new data page, or clean up unused tabs before sharing a file.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports adding a blank worksheet and deleting a worksheet from the sheet tab area in WPS Sheets on Android. | Microsoft Support says Excel lets users insert and delete worksheets in a workbook, including using the New Sheet icon and Delete Sheet commands. | Google Docs Editors Help says Google Sheets supports adding and deleting rows, columns, and cells, and its shortcut reference includes inserting a new sheet. | Notion Help explains page deletion and restoration, but it does not use workbook-style worksheet tabs for spreadsheet files. | Adobe Acrobat Help supports adding or deleting PDF pages, which is page management for PDFs rather than worksheet management in spreadsheets. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: focuses directly on worksheet tab actions in a mobile spreadsheet workflow, which fits multi-sheet workbook editing on Android. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft's official worksheet article mainly describes desktop-style Excel paths. | Compared with WPS: Google's official help is centered more on rows, columns, cells, and separate shortcut references than a worksheet-tab workflow. | Compared with WPS: Notion is designed around pages and databases instead of workbook sheets. | Compared with WPS: Adobe manages PDF pages, not spreadsheet worksheets. |

Overall Conclusion
If your main goal is to manage multiple worksheets inside one workbook on Android, WPS provides a workflow that stays close to sheet-tab editing on mobile. Other products also support adding or deleting content, but their official guidance focuses on desktop worksheets, page-based content, or PDF pages.
