About This Feature
Overview
Rename Worksheet is a basic editing feature in WPS Office for Android Sheets. It lets you change the name of an existing worksheet tab in a workbook so different data sheets are easier to identify.
Core tasks include:
- Rename a single worksheet: tap a worksheet tab and change its name directly.
- Avoid duplicate names: worksheets in the same workbook should use different names, and suffixes can help distinguish copies.
- Improve tab recognition: use clearer sheet names so later viewing and switching are easier.
This feature is useful for monthly reports, project sheet organization, and study material categorization. It also supports users looking for how to rename a worksheet in WPS on Android.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | Rename worksheet tabs directly in an Android spreadsheet workbook for clearer multi-sheet management. | Excel supports renaming worksheets and documents naming limits such as blank names, a 31-character limit, and restricted characters. | Google Sheets on Android lets users open the sheet tab menu, tap Rename, and enter a new sheet name. | Notion organizes content with page titles and pages, but it does not provide a worksheet-tab rename flow for spreadsheet workbooks. | Adobe Acrobat on Android supports renaming files or folders for document management rather than worksheet tabs inside spreadsheets. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: direct access from the worksheet tab makes mobile sheet organization quick for workbook editing. | Compared with WPS: Microsoft provides more detailed official naming rules, while its page focuses on Excel worksheet constraints. | Compared with WPS: Google also offers a direct Android sheet rename flow through the sheet tab menu. | Compared with WPS: Notion is better aligned with page-based organization than workbook sheet tab management. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF and file management instead of spreadsheet worksheet tab renaming. |

Overall Conclusion: For mobile spreadsheet work, WPS and Google Sheets both provide direct Android entry points for renaming sheet tabs. Compared with page-based or file-based tools, WPS stays closer to workbook editing tasks and is convenient for everyday spreadsheet organization.
