| Capability Summary | On iOS, you can tap a worksheet tab, choose Rename, enter a new name, and confirm the change. | Excel supports renaming worksheets from the sheet tab, including rename actions on the tab itself. | Google Sheets on iPhone and iPad lets users open the sheet tab menu, tap Rename, enter a new name, and tap OK. | Notion lets users rename database views, but this applies to database views rather than spreadsheet worksheets. | Adobe Acrobat provides page organization features such as adding, extracting, moving, and numbering pages, rather than worksheet renaming. |
