About This Feature

Overview

Create Worksheet Copy is a spreadsheet feature in WPS for iOS that duplicates an existing worksheet inside the current file and creates a new sheet with the same content. After the copy is created, the new worksheet appears after the original one, which is useful for template reuse, formula testing, backup editing, and multi-version data work.

On iOS, you can complete this action from the worksheet floating toolbar by tapping Copy. The new worksheet keeps the original content and is named automatically with an incremental numbering pattern.

Capability SummarySupports duplicating the current worksheet directly in a spreadsheet on iOS and places the copy after the original sheet.Excel official help confirms worksheet copy, but the main official article focuses on desktop and web workflows, so iOS guidance is less centralized.Google Sheets official iPhone and iPad help supports duplicating a sheet from the sheet tab menu.Notion does not use spreadsheet worksheet tabs; the closest equivalent is duplicating pages or reusing database templates.Adobe Acrobat focuses on PDF file management and can duplicate files or save copies, but it does not provide worksheet-level spreadsheet duplication.
WPS AdvantagesAdvantage: worksheet-level copying is available directly inside the spreadsheet workflow on iOS, which is practical for template reuse and fast versioning.Compared with WPS: official public guidance emphasizes desktop or web worksheet copy workflows more than iOS-specific sheet duplication.Compared with WPS: it also supports mobile sheet duplication, with a similar entry point from the sheet tab menu.Compared with WPS: it focuses on page or database structure reuse rather than cell-based spreadsheet worksheet copying.Compared with WPS: it focuses on PDF copies and file management instead of spreadsheet worksheet duplication.
