About This Feature

Overview

Hide Worksheet in WPS on Android is a spreadsheet sheet-visibility feature for managing which worksheet tabs appear in a workbook. When you hide a worksheet, the sheet is removed from the visible tab bar, while its data remains in the workbook and can be shown again later.

This feature includes two main tasks:

Hide a worksheet tab when you want to reduce tab clutter or temporarily put an auxiliary sheet out of view.
Unhide a worksheet from the full sheet list when you need to review or edit it again.

Common use cases include organizing workbooks with many tabs, putting calculation sheets out of sight, and keeping the main worksheet area easier to navigate on a phone screen.

Capability Summary	On Android, WPS lets you hide a worksheet tab directly and unhide it from the full sheet list. The hidden sheet stays in the workbook.	Microsoft Excel officially supports hiding and unhiding worksheets, and hidden worksheet data can still be referenced from other worksheets and workbooks. Its public official guidance here is focused on desktop and web.	Google Sheets on Android supports hiding and unhiding sheets, and its official help page notes that hiding is not the same as protection.	Notion does not provide worksheet-tab management in a spreadsheet workbook. The closest official capability is hiding or showing database properties in a database view.	Adobe Acrobat for Android is focused on PDF viewing and editing, and its official Android help does not provide an equivalent worksheet-tab hide or unhide feature.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS covers both hide and unhide worksheet actions directly in an Android spreadsheet workflow.	Compared with WPS: the official feature exists, but the cited official guidance is centered on desktop and web rather than Android sheet-tab steps.	Compared with WPS: Android support is available, but Google explicitly notes that hidden sheets are still accessible to editors and can be unhidden.	Compared with WPS: property visibility is a database-view setting, not worksheet-tab management inside a workbook.	Compared with WPS: Acrobat Android is designed for PDF tasks rather than spreadsheet sheet management.

Overall Conclusion: For worksheet visibility management on Android, WPS and Google Sheets both provide mobile-ready hide and unhide actions. Notion and Adobe do not offer the same worksheet-tab workflow, while Microsoft’s cited official page documents the feature mainly in desktop and web contexts.
