About This Feature
Overview
Rename Worksheet in WPS on iOS is a spreadsheet tab management feature for changing a worksheet name so different data sections are easier to identify in one workbook.
Core task:
- Rename a worksheet: tap a worksheet tab, open the floating toolbar, choose Rename, enter a new name, and confirm.
Common use cases include monthly report organization, project sheet management, and faster workbook review on mobile devices. It helps when default sheet names are hard to recognize or when multiple sheets need clearer labels in one file.
System Requirements
| Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Operating system | iPhone or iPad with an iOS environment that can run WPS Office normally |
| App version | It is recommended to use the latest version of WPS Office |
| Network | Renaming a local worksheet does not require a network connection; downloading, signing in, or syncing files does require network access |
| Other | You need to open a spreadsheet file and have permission to edit the worksheet name |
Download & Installation

Compare with Alternatives
| Dimension | WPS | Microsoft | Notion | Adobe | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capability Summary | On iOS, tap a worksheet tab, open the floating toolbar, choose Rename, enter a new name, and confirm. | Excel officially supports worksheet renaming and documents naming rules such as invalid characters and a 31-character limit. | Google Sheets for iPhone and iPad officially supports renaming a sheet from the sheet tab menu. | Notion lets users rename a database view, but that object is a database view rather than a spreadsheet worksheet tab. | Adobe Acrobat on mobile supports renaming files or folders, but it does not provide a spreadsheet worksheet tab feature. |
| WPS Advantages | Advantage: the rename entry is directly tied to worksheet tab actions on iOS, which fits quick spreadsheet cleanup on mobile. | Compared with WPS: Excel documents worksheet naming rules clearly, while the official page used here is less focused on the iPhone-specific entry path. | Compared with WPS: Google Sheets also supports sheet renaming on iOS, but the action is entered from the tab drop-down menu. | Compared with WPS: Notion renames database views instead of worksheet tabs, so it is only a nearby workflow. | Compared with WPS: Adobe focuses on PDF and file management rather than spreadsheet sheet-tab management. |

Overall Conclusion
WPS, Excel, and Google Sheets all support renaming worksheet tabs for multi-sheet spreadsheet organization. Notion and Adobe provide adjacent rename workflows for views or files, but they do not replace worksheet-tab renaming in a mobile spreadsheet app.
Use Cases

| 2 | Project sheet organization | Project managers and coordinators | Multiple sheets in one file are hard to distinguish | Rename sheets by phase, module, or owner |
| 3 | Team handoff review | Team members | New readers cannot quickly tell what each sheet is for | Replace default names with business-focused labels |
| 4 | Template reuse | Students and administrative staff | Copied templates keep repeated default sheet names | Rename each worksheet for the current task |
| 5 | Mobile workbook review | People working on the go | Switching between many sheets on a phone is slower | Rename key sheets first, then locate them by name faster |
