6. If you need the same change on another worksheet, switch to that worksheet and repeat the setting.

Success Criteria

• No side effect: The change affects only the current worksheet display.

Tips While Using

• Common mistake: Changing one worksheet does not automatically update other worksheets.
• Environment note: You need to be in a WPS Spreadsheet worksheet view.
