About This Feature

Overview

Hide Worksheet in WPS on iOS is a spreadsheet visibility management feature that lets you hide a selected worksheet tab without deleting its data. After a worksheet is hidden, its content remains in the workbook, but the tab no longer appears in the worksheet tab bar. This is useful when you want to organize many tabs, keep helper sheets out of view, or reduce distractions while editing on mobile.

Core capabilities include:

Hide a worksheet: hide the current worksheet directly from the worksheet tab toolbar.
Unhide a worksheet: find a hidden worksheet in the All Sheets list and restore it.
Keep worksheet data intact: hiding a worksheet does not remove its content, and you can continue editing it after it is shown again.

This feature is useful for organizing multi-sheet workbooks, keeping calculation sheets out of sight, and simplifying spreadsheet navigation on iPhone or iPad.

Compare with Alternatives

Dimension	WPS	Microsoft	Google	Notion	Adobe
Capability Summary	Supports hiding a worksheet directly on iOS and restoring it from the All Sheets list. Hidden worksheet data stays in the workbook.	Excel officially supports hiding and unhiding worksheets, and hidden worksheet data can still be referenced from other worksheets and workbooks.	Google officially states that hiding or unhiding sheets on iPhone and iPad must be done on a computer.	Notion can hide or show database properties to adjust what appears in a view, but it does not provide worksheet-tab hiding in a spreadsheet workbook.	Adobe Acrobat provides spreadsheet-related workflows such as converting an Excel workbook or a single worksheet to PDF, rather than managing worksheet tab visibility.
WPS Advantages	Advantage: WPS lets you hide and unhide worksheets directly on iOS. Distinct: the workflow stays centered on worksheet tabs and the All Sheets list for mobile editing.	Compared with WPS: the official page focuses on desktop and web worksheet workflows, and does not center the experience on iOS worksheet-tab controls in one help page.	Compared with WPS: Google officially states that iPhone and iPad users need a computer to hide or unhide sheets.	Compared with WPS: Notion hides database properties rather than worksheet tabs, so the use case is different from spreadsheet sheet management.	Compared with WPS: Adobe Acrobat does not provide an equivalent worksheet hide or unhide feature, and focuses on export and sharing workflows.
