About This Feature
Overview
Rename Worksheet is a built-in spreadsheet feature in WPS Office for Android. It lets you change a worksheet tab name so different sheets are easier to identify in the same workbook.
Core capability:
- Rename a worksheet tab directly from the sheet tab area, which is useful when you manage monthly reports, project sheets, or shared workbooks.
Common scenarios: organizing monthly data, separating project sheets, and keeping shared spreadsheet names clear.
This feature helps when default names such as Sheet1 or Sheet2 are not descriptive enough in everyday spreadsheet work.

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On Android, WPS lets you tap a worksheet tab and use the rename option to change the sheet name for clearer spreadsheet organization. | Excel supports renaming worksheets and documents naming rules such as character limits and restricted characters. | Google Sheets on Android lets you open the sheet tab menu, tap Rename, and enter a new sheet name. | Notion databases let you rename database items or pages, but this is page naming rather than spreadsheet worksheet tab management. | Acrobat for Android supports renaming files in file lists, but it does not provide worksheet tab renaming in a spreadsheet editor. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the rename entry is tied directly to worksheet tab management in a mobile spreadsheet workflow. Distinct: it stays within the spreadsheet editing context instead of switching to file management. | Compared with WPS: Excel provides worksheet renaming, while the cited page focuses more on general worksheet methods and naming restrictions than Android-specific tab management. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also offers a direct Android sheet rename path, so the mobile workflow is similar. | Compared with WPS: Notion focuses on database pages and views rather than traditional worksheet tabs. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF and file management, so there is no same-type worksheet tab feature in its official Android help. |

Overall Conclusion
For Android spreadsheet work, WPS provides a direct worksheet-tab rename path that fits quick mobile editing. Google Sheets offers a similar mobile flow, while Notion and Adobe cover adjacent page or file naming rather than the same worksheet-tab scenario.
