About This Feature
Overview
Create Worksheet Copy is a worksheet duplication feature in WPS Office for Android spreadsheets. It helps you quickly create a new worksheet copy based on the current sheet.
Core capabilities include:
- Duplicate the current worksheet: Open the floating toolbar from a sheet tab and use the copy command.
- Keep the original sheet content: The copied sheet keeps the original content, formatting, formulas, and conditional formatting.
- Apply sequential copy names: The copied sheet is named with the original sheet name plus a numbered suffix such as (1), (2), or (3).
This feature is useful for monthly report reuse, budget versioning, classroom worksheet practice, and spreadsheet backup before edits. After the copy is created, the original sheet and the copied sheet remain separate for independent editing.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you copy the current worksheet from the sheet floating toolbar and creates the duplicate after the original sheet. | Microsoft Excel officially supports copying worksheets within the same workbook and managing sheets with Move or Copy Sheet; the public official page mainly documents desktop and web workflows. | Google Sheets officially documents Duplicate on Android from the sheet tab menu. | Notion officially supports duplicating databases, but the object is a database page rather than a cell-based worksheet. | Adobe officially supports duplicating PDF pages for PDF page management rather than spreadsheet worksheets. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: The Android entry point is directly tied to the current sheet workflow, which is convenient for quick worksheet duplication during mobile editing. | Compared with WPS: The official public guidance is more focused on desktop and web worksheet copy flows. | Compared with WPS: Android also supports Duplicate, but the entry is in the sheet tab menu. | Compared with WPS: The official equivalent is database duplication, not worksheet-level spreadsheet duplication. | Compared with WPS: The official equivalent is PDF page duplication, not spreadsheet worksheet duplication. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS, Excel, and Google Sheets all provide worksheet copy or closely related duplication capabilities, and Google Sheets has a clearly documented Android path. For duplicating the current worksheet directly inside an Android spreadsheet workflow, WPS keeps the action close to the active sheet editing flow. Notion and Adobe provide nearby duplication concepts for databases or PDF pages, but they target different content types.
