About This Feature
Overview
Move and Copy Worksheet is a built-in spreadsheet feature in WPS Office for Android that helps you reorganize sheet order and create reusable sheet copies.
Core capabilities include:
- Move a worksheet: Long-press and drag a sheet tab to a new position when you need to reorganize a workbook.
- Copy a worksheet: Use the sheet tab menu to create a duplicate when you want to reuse existing content, formulas, formatting, and comments.
This feature is useful for monthly reports, reusable templates, comparison versions, and other spreadsheet organization tasks. After you copy a worksheet, the duplicate appears after the original sheet and adds a number to the original name.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Supports moving worksheets by long-pressing and dragging sheet tabs on Android, and supports copying a worksheet from the sheet tab menu. The duplicate keeps cell content, formulas, formatting, and comments. | Microsoft Excel officially supports moving or copying worksheets and notes that formulas or charts may need to be checked after moving sheets across workbooks. | Google Sheets on Android supports duplicating a sheet from the sheet tab menu and reordering sheets with Move left or Move right. | Notion supports multiple database views and lets you drag to reorder views, but it does not provide a direct worksheet-copy workflow for spreadsheet tabs. | Adobe Acrobat supports moving or copying PDF pages for document page management, rather than spreadsheet worksheet management. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: WPS provides both worksheet moving and worksheet copying in the same Android spreadsheet workflow, which is practical for organizing multi-sheet files on mobile. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft documentation focuses on desktop and web worksheet workflows, so the Android sheet-management path is less direct for this use case. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets supports duplication and order changes, but reordering is described as Move left or Move right instead of drag-based rearrangement. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better suited to database view organization, not worksheet copies with spreadsheet formulas and comments. | Compared with WPS: Adobe is designed for PDF page organization and does not manage worksheet tabs, formulas, or comments. |

Overall Conclusion
If you want to organize a workbook with multiple worksheets directly on Android, WPS offers a straightforward mobile workflow for both moving and copying sheets. Notion and Adobe are useful for database views and PDF pages in their own document types, but they do not match the same worksheet-management scenario.
Use Cases
| No. | Scenario | Suitable for | Main issue | How this feature helps |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Reordering report sheets | Finance teams, admins | Multiple worksheets are out of order and hard to review | Long-press a sheet tab and drag it to the target position |
| 2 | Reusing a template sheet | Students, teachers, office users | You need a similar page while keeping the original format | Use Copy Worksheet to create a duplicate |
| 3 | Creating comparison versions | Data organizers | You need to preserve the original sheet before editing a new version | Copy the worksheet first, then edit the duplicate |
| 4 | Preserving original data | Everyday office users | You do not want direct edits to affect the original sheet | Work in the duplicate after copying |
| 5 | Organizing project workbooks | Project members | Large workbooks are harder to navigate efficiently | Move worksheets into a clearer order |
